From the creator of some of the world's most iconic puppetry shows comes this National Theatre Backstage Guide to the craft.
With a focus on the processes within each stage of creation and the key roles involved, the book offers insights into:
the benefits of using puppetry in your performance;
how to research and design your puppets;
how to perform with a puppet, from the technical considerations to character acting;
how to maintain your puppet and even repair it during a production;
how to pursue a career in puppetry
Drawing on both his experience working at the National Theatre on productions such as War Horse and Pinocchio, the author supplements his own know-how with contributions from other notable figures in puppetry, such as Fred Davis, Daisy Beattie, Audrey Brisson and Sarah Wright.
This is a unique opportunity to learn the principles of puppetry from someone who has worked extensively in the field across theatre, musicals, opera and dance.©2026 Toby Olié (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
