In that way we who believe in preserving the longest uninterrupted running play of the world (puppet or not) can only hope that you will learn to understand the personality of Old Rednose and preserve those non-violent routines purely. What a shame. A few vocal ignorant parents in this very, very short decade, can eliminate such a perfectly preserved piece of folkdrama. And once you have learned the real Punch, actively seek venues where you are "allowed" to perform it: historical festivals, folk festivals, Victorian festivals, Renaissance festivals etc. One person in your audience may see it and fall in love as I did. Nancy Sander P.S. And, oh please, please, never have Punch say, "I'm sorry, Judy, I'll never do that again."...unless he turns to the audience and adds, "She falls for that every time!" ----- Original Message ----- From: <Cahebay-AT-aol.com> To: <puptcrit-driftline.org-AT-lists.driftline.org> Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2004 3:46 PM Subject: [Puptcrit] Speaking of Punch and Judy > > The purists will shoot me for this, but I'm looking for a source of > nonviolent > punch and Judy plays fit for little kids. > The only one I ever found was an English site with a play by someone by the > name > of wiggley. > Even a site with detailed information on the writing of plays for punch and > Judy would be fine. > Regards, > Mark > _______________________________________________ > List address: puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org > Admin interface: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/puptcrit-driftline.org > _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org Admin interface: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/puptcrit-driftline.org
