Am currently in the early stages of writing a book on puppet manipulation, covering a range of puppetry styles, based on a series of interviews with puppeteers. The Muppet style/lip sync/glove and rod puppets (call it what you will) will feature heavily. J

Get what puppetry work you possibly can, working to the best of your ability and constantly striving to improve. Work for others or create your own shows. Then you will be a working, professional puppeteer, which is a lot more than some people ever achieve. If an opportunity to work for Hensons...

Looks excellent. Congrats. No doubt will save a lot of people repeating info time and time again.

Not Kermit's greatest interview to date.

I'd imagine they'd be sold individually, or in small groups, the way Christies (and others) usually do it.

Oh, how depressing. Never mind. Did anyone hear how much it fetched?

The next film/entertainment memrobilia sale is 5th December. Perhaps it's then.

A new Kermit interview, and some older footage as well, to be shown on BBC2 this Saturday night in The Story of Light Entertainment, 9.15 - 10.45pm. James

This show is selling particularly well at Edinburgh at the moment...whilst some fans are against it the public in general are loving it. I saw three performances this week, which were all very well attended. Please remember that they are doing a seperate Kids improv show which is completley...

I saw the Adult show on Tuesday and Friday and the Kids show on Friday. Thoroughly enjoyed myself at all three shows, will post a fuller review soon as am rather short of time... If you get the chance to go to Edinburgh please do, it's an entertaining show and there's plenty of other relly...

A lot of plays and musicals have been recorded for DVD. Certainly in London they are recorded, often with just a single camera as part of the theatre museums archive, but often shows are recorded for general release...so you never know...especially if there's money to be made! Shows are...
