The Miss Muffet Show - reviews


“The puppets are exquisitely designed and like Japanese puppets are moved by the visible Annie Forbes and Tim Denton whose voices and timing are so good that they are quite simply invisible! This is one of the best children’s shows I have seen in a very long time.” 
- The Dominion Post (Wellington, NZ).

“Children respond to the performers with a commitment that is astonishing in this world of hi-tech computer games and television. Adults find themselves transported back to their own childhood, when things were simpler. All of which goes to prove that imagination is alive and well and that the universal appeal of traditional story-telling will never die.” 
- The Press (Christchurch, NZ).
