"It is true, the spoken word enlightens both the spirit and the soul. Indeed, the HENDRICK’S Master Distiller can often be heard talking at length to her ‘two little sweeties’ – the delightful and peculiarly small copper pot stills from which the most unusual gin flows." |
PUNCH AND JUDY
With Professor Geoff Felix
Saturday the 29th October 2011
Doors at 5:30 pm, Show commences at 6:15
Doors at 6:30 pm, Show commences at 7:15
P stands for Punch - and Judy his wife;
Poor thing, he leads her a terrible life,
For his cudgel he carries to fight or to revel,
And whacks every head from policeman to devil.
And so is the story of Punch that can trace its roots back to the 16th century commedia dell'arte and has been entertaining people ever since. Complete with his swazzle, Professor Geoff Felix will bring Punch and Judy's humorous anecdotes with their baby, the hungry crocodile, the clown and the officious policeman once again to life in Hackney.
Children most certainly welcome to this show!
