Master puppeteer James Racioppi\u2019s interpretation of this magical play with 20 handmade puppets is based on the play and soundtrack narrated by Richard Burton and members of the Old Vic Theatre. This puppet production, an encapsulated version of Shakespeare\u2019s romantic fantasy, is geared towards young audiences.<\/p>\n
Rod puppets are used for the main characters, while hand puppets are used for the comic ones. Combined, the show is created with a beautiful mastery of intricate handicraft.<\/p>\n
The soundtrack is a recording of Richard Burton and members of the Old Vic theatre – beautifully acted and edited to just over an hour for younger audiences. Original music was also composed for this production.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”James+Racioppi+Portrait+large” src=”https:\/\/premierepicturesinc.com\/metro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/JamesRacioppiPortraitlarge.jpg” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ width=”60%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” text_font=”||on||||||”]Master puppeteer James Raccopi in his workshop.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ header_2_font=”|700|||||||” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false”]<\/p>\n
