Labelled, I Became a Puppet Theatre of Protest, John Kinsella , single work prose
I've decided to go back to performing with hand puppets. Whin I was eleven and twelve, the puppet theatre was a big thing for me. For my family in general. Encouraged by Mum, we made papier-mache heads and fabric costumes. I constructed the theatre with 'Auntie J' out of an old packing crate that has at one stage been an aviary breeding box. I wrote the scripts, and maybe others did too,  but I can only remember my own. I wrote a lot of them. We each made puppets that expressed 'personalities', but not necessarily 'our own'.
