This Christmas, audiences at the Harlequin Puppet Theatre are in for a rare treat. We will be performing the legendary Lanchester Marionettes Peter and the Wolf on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th December, marking the first time these historic puppets have appeared on stage in over fifteen years and the first time the Lanchester puppets have been on the Harlequin stage in over 60 years!

The Lanchester marionettes were formed in 1929 following Waldo and Muriel’s marriage in Malvern. Their shows quickly became famous for their refined carving, expressive movement and beautifully detailed costumes. The company toured widely, performed for royalty and collaborated with major cultural figures including staging George Bernard Shaw’s only puppet play, Shakes versus Shav. A play he wrote for the Lanchster’s. Throughout the 1930s – 60s, the Lanchesters became one of Britain’s most respected marionette companies.

As an added delight, the first half of our programme will feature the Lanchester’s Underwater Ballet, a graceful and whimsical show that has not been seen publicly for decades. Together, these performances promise a magical celebration of music and Lanchester marionette mastery.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to see the Lanchester marionettes brought back to life this Christmas at Great Britain’s home of the Marionette!
