The Paper Princess (Monkeyshine Theatre)
By Jessica Cropper | Published on Friday 2 August 2013
Dressed in brightly-coloured party clothes, two ladies invite the audience to a birthday party. On entering the venue, the first step in this brilliantly immersive experience is to decorate a paper prince or princess. These then feature in an enchanting puppet show, which tells the thrilling story of a flying paper princess and her adventures. The performance is delivered enthusiastically and seamlessly, with the aid of a beautiful miniature theatre, adorable puppets, and live music playing in the corner, resulting in a thoroughly engaging show for younger children. They are integrated into the performance throughout; being made to feel as though they are guests at this delightful birthday party. A great family show.
C nova, until 9 Aug, 11.00am.
