  • The Editors of Puppetry International Hope You Enjoy Reading Greg Pellone's Full
    The editors of Puppetry International hope you enjoy reading Greg Pellone’s full account of the life and work of Joe Parsonage. MEET JOE PARSONAGE About one year ago, I read an obituary for Mr. Robert Gregg written by Fred Putz in the Winter/Spring 2016/17 Puppeteers of America Puppetry Journal.1 For some reason unknown to me at the time, I had an overwhelming compulsion to try to find out more about Robert. I was eventually put in touch with his widow Christine, who coincidentally lives nearby, and she agreed to meet and tell me more about her husband. Sadly I never had a chance to meet Robert personally, but wish I had. Like me, he was a lifelong puppetry enthusiast. Our paths did cross by strange circumstance in August 2015 when he and Christine visited a large exhibition of our world puppet collection which was sponsored by The Florida CraftArt Gallery in downtown St. Petersburg (see the Fall 2015 POA Puppetry Journal2). While they were there, Robert had asked to meet me, but for some reason I was never informed and unfortunately we never met. Also like me, Robert was a Punch and Judy fan, and an old set of Punch and Judy puppets that he had purchased some years ago from “Uncle Ted” Raub, a television personality in Pennsylvania, were among his favorites. Those puppets are now a permanent part of the Pellone/Barrett Puppet Collection with much gratitude to both Robert and his wife and to Mr. David Wilde, notable British Punch and Judy collector and historian who positively identified them as Joe Parsonage’s work.3 All puppets in the collection are photographed, archived and cataloged with pertinent information.

  • Punch and Judy’ and Cultural Appropriation Scott Cutler Shershow
    Bratich z Amassing the Multitude 1 Popular Culture in History 2 Interpretational Audiences Bratich z Amassing the Multitude 3 1 ‘Punch and Judy’ and Cultural Appropriation Scott Cutler Shershow It is a drama in two acts, is Punch. Ah, it’s a beautiful history; there’s a deal of morals with it, and there’s a large volume wrote about it. (Mayhew, 1967 [1861–62] 3: 46) n The New Yorker magazine of 2 August 1993, a cartoon depicts two grotesque, hook-nosed figures, male and female, fighting with cudgels Iwhile sitting at a table at an elegant restaurant, while a waiter stands by asking, ‘Are you folks ready to order?’ The cartoon prompts me to ask: why should Punch and Judy still be recognizable icons of domestic violence and social trangression at the end of the twentieth century, even to readers who may have never seen an actual ‘Punch and Judy’ puppet show? Versions of this question have, of course, been asked before. In answering them, however, scholars typically claim a primeval or archetypal status for Punch, pointing to his alleged cultural descent from a whole constellation of ancient sources including, for example, ‘the religious plays of medieval England’, ‘the impro- vised farces of the Italian comedians’, and ‘the folk festivals of pagan Greece’ (Speaight, 1970: 230). I will take the opposite position, attempting to locate ‘Punch and Judy’ in the actual processes of social life and cultural transmis- sion in a particular period, and in the dynamic interaction of cultural practices and their discursive reinterpretation. Such an approach may do more justice to the cultural meaning of figures who still apparently embody, as they do in the cartoon, anxieties about status, class, gender, and relative social power.

  • Punch and Judy Glyn Edwards
    MÓIN-MÓIN 84 Punch and Judy Glyn Edwards Where to begin? Well, last year is as good a place as any. Punch and Judy were named in a newly launched multi-million pound government cultural initiative as being as among the first ten official Icons of England. Whilst some media critics thought it absurd, others welcomed it s enthusiastically and Mr. Punch was duly enshrined alongside Stonehenge, the FA Cup, the London red bus and the traditional ‘cup of tea’ as being something “uniquely important to life in England and the people who live here a and representing something in our culture, history or way of life”. These fine words put no money into the pockets of the English puppeteers (known as mas Animada ‘Professors’) who perform the traditional Punch and Judy Show – but it gave them a weapon of enormous power to use in their on-going skirmishes with the forces of Political Correctness who claim that it is a performance that encourages wife-beating, child abuse and all manner of other evils – eatro de For de eatro and should thus be banned. At the same time it is also a puppet show regularly being performed at children’s birthday parties and at countless local festivities whilst simultaneously being scornfully dismissed by many practitioners of Puppet Theatre who would sooner cut off their own arms than have their work linked in the public mind with Mr. Punch’s antics. All these contradictions are at the heart of where the unruly puppet fits in to UK society. He is not part of the cultural establishment, he is a figure from popular culture – one who is truly ‘of the people’ - and it is they who have kept him alive down the centuries.

  • Childhood and Memory in the Comics of Neil Gaiman and Dave Mckean
    CHAPTER SIX Childhood and memory in the comics of Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean For Alan Moore. With thanks and gratitude, and, after all these years, still a smidgen of awe. – Neil and Dave.1 It makes sense to discuss Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman side by side because not only are they arguably the most prominent names in British alternative comics but they have been instrumental in each other’s careers. In the mid 1980s Gaiman was introduced to comics partly by reading Moore’s Swamp Thing, and Moore subsequently taught Gaiman how to lay out a comics script.2 Melinda Gebbie claims that it was Gaiman who first gave her Moore’s phone number in the early 90s, and Moore credits Gaiman with some of the references in From Hell.3 As I will demonstrate, Gaiman shares some of Moore’s preoccupations with the power of the imagination and issues surrounding childhood, but where Moore’s interest is in perception, Gaiman’s focus is primarily on memory. In this chapter I will discuss the relationship between Neil Gaiman’s preoccupations with imagination, memory and childhood identity and Dave McKean’s distinctive collage illustration style. I will focus on three comics scripted by Gaiman and drawn by McKean: Violent Cases (1987), Signal to Noise (1992) and The Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy of Mr Punch (1994). These collaborative works form a triad of short, richly coloured, collage-based comics about the difficulties involved in forming and sustaining adult subjectivity. Where Violent Cases and Mr Punch narrate an individual’s first unwilling steps into the adult world, Signal to Noise, which is told through the eyes of a dying film director, comprises reflections on the end of a life.

    Fall 1992 191 Book Reviews Fall 1992 193 Shakespeare's Caliban: A Cultural History. By Alden T. Vaughan and Virginia Mason Vaughan. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1992. 290 pages. This text—well-written, thoroughly researched and eminently readable—is an intriguing entry in a relatively new subgenre of theoretical studies: the 'cultural history/ based upon analysis of the protracted recycling of a play, character or set of tropes over an extended period of time. Such studies often posit that the incarnations of consistently reutilized texts or tropes reveal shifts in social attitudes in the process of intracultural transformation. Other texts of this type—such as Paul Davies' The Lives and Times of Ebeneezer Scrooge, Stephen Forres Hideous Progenies, and Lucy Hughes-Hallett's Cleopatra— achieved their aims to varying degrees of success, and the Vaughans' text is among the more successful. Shakespeare's Caliban is a useful and often fascinating text, although it focuses more of its attention upon things literary than theatrical. Nonetheless, scholars will find it valuable for any course on or investigation into the later Shakespeare, the theatre of the 17th and 18th centuries, or contemporary modes of analysis and their relationship to cultural ideology, and directors, designers, et. al., will find in the text an immensely valuable research tool. Shakespeare's Caliban focuses upon the evolution of perceptions revolving about that single character from Shakespeare's day to the 1990s, tracing the presentation of Caliban from biological mongrel in the 17th and 18th centuries, through Darwinian symbol in the mid- to late 19th century, to carrier, in our own time, of questions about imperialism, colonialism and their attendant racist attitudes.

  • Blackface Puppetry in American Theatre, 1872-1939
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF RACIALISM: BLACKFACE PUPPETRY I N AMERICAN THEATRE, 1872-1939 Benjamin Daniel Fisler, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed by: Professor Franklin J. Hildy Department of Theatre In 1872, a company headed by English theatrical entrepreneur William John Bullock introduced the first full marionette minstrel show to the American stage . Throughout the following sixty -seven years, puppeteers presented a variety of productions featuring ostensibly African or African American characters, including: traditional blackface minstrel shows, adaptations of Helen Bannerman’s Little Black Sambo, numerous “Punch and Judy” plays, and productions of such ostensibly “authentic” portraits of black persons as Eugene O’Neill’s The Emperor Jones and Jo el Chandler Harris’s “Uncle Remus” stories. This investigation employs phenomenology to explore the “essence” of specific blackface puppets, maintaining that none of the objects or plays discussed here are nece ssarily examples of authentic black representation. Rather, this investigation adopts the shifting perspective of phenomenology to show that what some past puppeteers thought were authentic African or African American characters, were, with but a single exception, consistently racialized exaggerations derived from the heritage of minstrelsy. Phenomenology, in its emphasis on the essence of “things,” permits the scholar to investigate both the physical existence of empirically verifiable objects, such as th e puppets that are still in existence long after the deaths of their creators, and the meanings their observers embed them with, such as the character the puppets were imagined to be during their manipulators’ careers. Phenomenology helps explain the inter action between the puppet’s corporeal form and its perceived dramatic meaning, which is often a result of apportioned, or as some critics call it, atomized components, including: object, manipulation, and voice.

  • Punch and Judy
    Punch and Judy This session is adapted from the Museum Of Childhood’s ‘Exploring Punch & Judy’ session which was created as part of The Big Grin project assisted by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Session outline: • History of Mr. Punch (5 minutes) • Meet the cast - object handling or looking at online images. (10 minutes) • Punch and Judy online video (4 mins) NB: If budget permits you will find many Punch & Judy performers familiar with working in schools and able to deliver an age- appropriate live performance. A good performer should be able to perform to an entire KS in the school hall should you wish to expand the experience beyond just one class. If not, the video on the V&A puppet page will suffice as an introduction. • Playing with puppets (if no Punch & Judy puppets are to hand, then any glove puppets can be used to demonstrate the genre. A marionette would also be useful to show the other type of puppet relevant to Mr. Punch’s history) (Optional duration) Equipment and materials • Box of handling puppets if available OR online images of Punch (& a slapstick) Judy, Baby, Policeman, Crocodile, Toby the Dog, Ghost • Online video or eQuivalent from DVD or live performer. Learning Outcomes • This session is targeted at KS1 but can be geared upwards to KS2 and any topic in which puppetry, popular entertainment, drama, art and craft are relevant. • Outcome: Learn about traditional English street entertainment. Discuss history (English Restoration period; birth of railways; seaside holidays). • Outcome: Touch and explore different materials • Outcome: Creative play. Playing with toy puppets.
