The Birdman plus Monkey Business, Puppet Theatre Barge

The atmospheric Puppet Theatre Barge is one of London's best-kept secrets. The little-known theatre is the antithesis of television, and often hosts our favourite puppet show productions. The barge docks in Little Venice, but the ship sails down to Richmond for a whirlwind marionette tour.

This March, the Puppet Theatre Barge will host a double bill. Get your sea legs and clamber aboard this dramatic vessel for two exciting new shows.
