Hooray for Hollywood A fractured tale set within the exploitative child pornography industry. Revealed in flashes and glimpses, this piece weaves together the mediums of black theatre tabletop puppetry and shadow puppetry, with performers whose faces are never seen. Both challenging and moving, this piece is based on a true story. This bold new work packs a punch as puppet theatre for adults and follows with post-show discussion on social issues addressed in the piece.
