Dr. Dolittle
These puppets were created for a revival of Leslie Bricusse’s much loved musical Dr.Dolittle!
This was an ambitious make: 52 puppets, 27 individual designs, including a double headed llama (the infamous pushme-pullyu!), a sabre toothed tiger, a small faced bear and a giant pink sea snail!
To create the puppets a skilled and hardworking team of 14 makers worked flat out for 4 months, carving and patterning plastazote, assembling and painting a beautiful cast of colourful and charismatic animal characters.
