These are some of the shadow puppets I made recently for Jigsaw Theatre Company’s production of Wendy, a new musical re-imagining of J M Barrie’s Peter Pan. These and others can be seen in more detail in my portfolio set. The play had a public season at the Street Theatre and performances in schools, and received a good review in the Canberra Times.
One of the Peter Pan puppets is above. There were two crocodiles. This big one needed a handle as well as the jaw rod.
This is John flying and some set elements for the flying sequence.
Unfortunately I didn’t get photos of the puppets in action, because they look so much more attractive and bright on screen. The only screen shot I have is this blurry one of the Marauders Rock mermaid scene, taken without proper lighting behind. I like the water in particular.
