Dear Dan,
I believe that's exactly what they old punch men in Victorian times did,
playing outdoors with light from an oil lamp.  They were called Galanty
Shows (pronounced gerlantee),although the scripts for the shadows were
not necessarily Punch & Judy. I remember discussing the idea with Percy
Press and suggesting that he could use a miner's helmet.
cheers
Ray

Folks:
I'm also thinking of making a set of Punch and Judy Shadow puppets. I am
looking for images of the characters in profile or 3/4 view to help me
with the design. I've got a few good examples of Punch, and wonder if
anyone else can send me images of the other characters in fairly high
resolution.

I wonder if a Punch and Judy puppeteers are intrigued by this idea. One
could create a sequence, within a traditional Punch show, with a white
sheet curtain lit from behind and utilizing shadow puppets for a "night"
sequence.

And the resemblence between Petruk and Punch is remarkable, yes?
