About This Book

A practical manual and introduction to puppet theatre that combines a concise history of puppet, mask, and shadow traditions with step-by-step instructions for building stages, marionettes, masks, scenery, and props. It offers guidance on lighting, training performers, and presenting productions, and explains techniques for cut-out and human shadow plays, pantomime, music, and dance. Illustrated diagrams, sample plays and production photographs support the how-to material, with a bibliography and index.
