Neville Tranter uses traditional puppetry techniques to speak to us about today's world or, to be more precise, about worlds in conflict, worlds that do not understand each other. His puppets always cause a stir, wherever they go. And now they have found none other than Bin Laden's hiding place!
Allied troops stationed in Afghanistan are in luck: Nigel, a puppeteer, has arrived to entertain them. But his assistant, Emile, has disappeared. Whilst searching for Emile, Nigel finds... the hiding place of the world’s most wanted man, Punch Bin Laden!
Neville Tranter, an Australian puppeteer living in Holland, has galvanised the peaceful European puppet scene with hard-hitting shows in which he uses traditional Punch & Judy techniques to talk about today’s world. In them, he focuses, particularly, on cultures and civilisations that cannot understand each other and constantly enter into conflict. Everyone agrees that his performing, vocal and puppetry techniques are truly unique, and Neville’s shows never fail to cause enormous impact. Punch & Judy in Afghanistan is his first small-stage show.
