The Birdman plus Monkey Business, Puppet Theatre Barge The Birdman plus Monkey Business, Puppet Theatre Barge Hailey Wendling

The atmospheric Puppet Theatre Barge is one of London's best-kept secrets. The little-known theatre is the antithesis of television, and often hosts our favourite puppet show productions. The barge docks in Little Venice, but the ship sails down to Richmond for a whirlwind marionette tour.





This March, the Puppet Theatre Barge will host a double bill. Get your sea legs and clamber aboard this dramatic vessel for two exciting new shows.



Monkey Business will be shown on its own from 5 – 7 May





Monkey Business, Puppet Theatre Barge







A monkey uprising is underway. A unified ape troupe stages a rebellion against their circus overlords, taking over the big top. Monkey marionettes perform all kinds of dangerous stunts and hilarious tricks in this light-hearted programme. Prepare for stilt-walking, juggling, and trapeze as these masterful monkeys put on a show to remember.
