| Mister Punch is known to have been entertaining the people of Britain for 335 years, and may have been at it longer. He is not thought to have been particularly young when he arrived here from Italy and some think he started off in China in the distant mysterious past... However that may be, he arrived with his wife (though it was a hundred years before she changed her name from Joan to Judy) and their show was a success. The show has survived by changing to meet the demands of the changing audiences, and characters have come into the show and gone again when they were no longer needed. Our show preserves many of the traditional routines and jokes, but in an updated form which avoids the need for everyone to be bludgeoned to death. Joey the Clown, who arrived with some sausages not much more than a century ago, and the crocodile, who is even younger, battle and play with the Policeman, the Baby, Judy and Mister Punch himself. There are ladders, hats, handcuffs, treasure, spades, buckets, bananas and a magic flower. Now that's the way to do it! Oh, and did I mention the sausages? |
