What it Is

Welcome to the online development log for the The Puppeteers, an original comedy by the contemporary commedia dell'arte troupe Zuppa del Giorno. Here you will find lots of research, disjointed rambling and spit-balling, all of which has led to the creation of a show.
Want to book it?
The Puppeteers are available for mid-size venues, with sufficient time to remount! It's a show that can be customized to any area, any audience. Simply contact director Jeff Wills on email!

More random dialogue...

"Have you ever been falling asleep, and quite inexplicably been woken with a twitch? That's the puppetmaster, plucking a string, telling you you're not done with the day."


"What does it mean?"
"What does what mean?"
"The story.  Punch and Judy.  What does it mean?  He gets away with everything, tricks and murders everyone in sight, and laughs right through it all.  There's domestic elements, supernatural elements...what does it all mean?"
"Nothing.  It means nothing."


Running gag: "Go see if it's still raining."  Exits, torrential sound, returns.  Pause.  "It is, yes. Frogs now."


"Don't touch my puppet(child)!  S/He's mine!"


"I'm automatonophobic.  I'm serious.  Don't bring a doll or mannequin near me, seriously.  I will pee.  Involuntarily.  It won't be pretty.  Don't even sweep with that broom like that.  If you so much as suggest anything anthropomorphic about anything at all, I'm likely to pass out.  And pee.  Involuntarily."
