This is what I’ve been working on for the past few months - making puppets for the production of The Shepherd’s Life at Theatre by the Lake in Keswick, Cumbria alongside designer and director Jimmy Grimes.
The play is based on the autobiographical book of the same title by James Rebanks. We’ve made 2 border collies (called Floss and Tan), 1 newborn Hardwick lamb, 1 border collie puppy, and 12 Herdwick sheep including 2 tups, 1 hogg lamb, 1 yow that gives birth live on stage, and 3 rows that are sheared live on stage.
The show is now open and is playing until 23rd April http://www.theatrebythelake.com/production/14224/The-Shepherds-Life
