Famous Puppet Death Scenes

First a note on the Distillery District, home to the Young Centre for the Performing Arts. I've never been to this part of town, and I consider it a hidden gem, as it was new to me. It had brick roads and Industrial Gothic style buildings, saved from earlier industrial use. There are galleries, bakeries and cafe shops galore. It's a very nice neighbourhood to hang out in.

Famous Puppet Death Scenes is gaining notoriety and is traveling internationally. The show is exactly what it sounds like; it truly captures what the Theatre of the Absurd is all about. The influences of Edward Gorey were highly apparent. The skits were at times funny, in a quirky, black comedy type of way. But there was also imaginative scenes that perplexed the mind - a tendency in which the topic of death is inclined to do. There is a video on you tube, but it does not do justice to the charm and craftiness of the show. The puppets themselves were detailed, and their expressions and gestures were able to say so much. Famous Puppet Death Scenes was a very good show, and merits 4 stars based on its originality and creativity alone.
