13. "Famous Puppet Death Scenes" by The Old Trout Puppet Workshop


Enchanting puppet theater that shows the many faces of death. And what a discovery! How have I never made acquaintance with the Old Trouts until now? Two dozens death scenes, some funny, some sad, all performed by a cast of puppets. The re-occuring scenes with Quibble are among my favorite. I'd put "Death Scenes" right up there with "Shockheaded Peter" and Edward Gorey's macbre world of darkness and despair.

Ticket fee: $3.00
