ABOUT THE SHOW:
Let us cure your fear of death; no more anxiety about difficult choices, no more dreading birthdays, no more desperate pleas for immortality through fame, art, or progeny.
Through a collection of famous scenes culled from the absolute best puppet shows in history, including Edward’s Last Prance, from The Ballad of Edward Grue by Samuel Groanswallow, The Feverish Heart by Nordo Frot, Why I Am So Sad by Sally, and the unforgettable Bipsy’s Mistake, from Bipsy and Mumu Go to the Zoo by Fun Freddy, the Old Trouts will deconstruct your traumatized psyche and reconstruct you so that death means nothing to you anymore.
In a way, we promise ever-lasting life. Through a puppet show. That’s right.
ABOUT OLD TROUT:
The Old Trout Puppet Workshop is a motley gang of artists churning out ideas for a whole heap of unlikely things: puppet shows for adults and children, sculptures, films, music, books, plays, paintings, and pedagogy. We struggle against terrible obstacles to create things we think might help make the cruel world slightly more hospitable to the yearning and fragile souls that inhabit it.
--"In many ways, yes, this production is everything its title promises. You will see puppets dying. Lots of them, in fact. Yet don’t dismiss this as something purely morbid or fluffy. There is grace here, and levity, and meaning. And it just might be the most unique show in town." --An excerpt from Jennifer Clement's Review, DC Theater Scene
