Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Audio inspiration while you work


I have written a few scripts in my life. The best one I will have to say,
and never done as of yet, was one I wrote on The Hobbit. I read the
book....lol, a lot for me to accomplish! Read it, really enjoyed it, so I
sat down and page by page, section by section, turned it into a 25 page
puppet show, with lots of action and various kinds of puppets: glove, rod,
shadow......as well as a few actors and storytellers. Alas, it has never
been done.....maybe one day.

I will have to say some of my best shows have been very improvised and fed
on the audience.
