I have hanging scenes in several of my shows (the devil gives in and Punch lets him go), Punch grinds the crocodile and the devil up in another and slays a dragon in a comical way in another. My clients are mostly museums, historic sites and libraries in the Greater New York region (land of the politically correct). These clients, understandably, are extremely sensitive to controversial programs due to the nature of their funding and sensitivity of their audiences. When I was first starting out it seemed more important to let potential clients know that my Punch wasn't using his stick. Now I'm pretty well known and most of my clients know what they are getting. My newest P&J show, The Tragical Comedy of Punch & Judy, comes closest to the traditional shows and uses most of the traditional characters and routines in a modified form. I have never seen the video you mentioned, but would love to. Where is it available? Thank you for your interest!
