We’re quite different to many companies you could employ as we primarily work with the concept of original thought - we write, create, script and perform the majority of our work ourselves! We use life as our inspiration - whether it is for a newly published book or for a childrens party, we do our best to make any event as unique as the audience watching!

Why not have the Poet and the Puppeteer present to you and your guests an extravaganza that will enthrall audiences of all ages!

In addition to the shows, books and skills we can provide you with, as an international company we have resources to find the very best artists for your requirements from around the world! We are also able to provide some of the best young talent for your needs - whether it is costume or fashion design that you require or websites built - we have the contacts!

We have a commitment to creating a fun and friendly, safe environment – whilst also providing entertainment that encourages further reading and creativity.

We often have books for sale throughout the show , and audiences are invited to interact with us before and after performances. Don't forget we can be commissioned for most events and shows can be totally bespoke, with poetry created just for you.

We are storytellers who work with a unique formula to create and produce together. Our current project “The Castle and the Witch's Gold” has been a hit in local bookshops and the show will be on the road in the UK and Europe very soon!

Please telephone to book us!

The Castle and The Witch's Gold

An original production, combining glove and

string puppetry, based on the book we have written.

The horrid, warty, Wendy witch is out to take over

the magical kingdom of Hay-on-Wye and wants to

burn all the precious books, with the fairy tales

locked inside! The town depends on Star the fairy

to save her Kingdom from the wicked witch by

traveling through other worlds and other times to

find the puppeteer who can save the magical town!

A story that is fantastic fun and very interactive as

well as subtly touching on many issues such as

disability, bullying and growing up, through

characters such as  Duck, the King of Hay

and the Book Scientist.

Suitable for the whole family but especially liked

by 7 - 13 year olds!

 

Brazilian "Lambe Lambe"

A new technique to entertain in the UK!

We have several stories with fully moving,

manipulated puppets to entertain 1 - 2 people

at a time, shows last 1 - 3 minutes! Ideal for

festivals, birthdays and school theatre festivals!

 

Punch and Judy - Another Way To Do It!

A hilarious non violent version of the classic

 show!

All the fun of the traditional show - with a

bit less violence!


We go by the names The Poet and 

The Puppeteer as we try to work without  

too much ego involved - our main objective 

is to continue to perform an age old art and

learn new techniques, to enable us to create

new shows  for you, the audience. We're not

so interested in making ourselves famous

but for those of you who are curious...
