There are no shortage of theatres in London – but there are none quite as atmospheric or aquatic as the floating Puppet Theatre Barge. Maritime marionettes take to the high seas for a series of puppet shows, presented by masters in the field who will tug at your heartstrings.
The next performance is a retelling of the fairy tale classic, Little Red Riding Hood – the original A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, (or rather, to grandmas). Updated for a modern audience, this version is by literature superstar, Deborah Jones. In her interpretation, Granny is a forgetful artist, Red Riding Hood is feisty albeit fearful, and as for the Wolf? 'As dark and mysterious as his forest.'
