Spike Bones'Punch and Judy Show

Spike Bones' Punch and Judy show is a new perspective on an old tradition: both Mr. Punch and Ms. Judy take centre-stage as they work (and sometimes shirk) their responsibilities.

Classic adversaries like the devious devil, the pompous police officer and the carnivorous crocodile all return to meddle with Punch & Judy, who, as always, delight audiences with their witty responses and slapstick takedowns. Suitable for all ages - from 1 to 100, Spike Bones’ Punch & Judy deconstructs and reconstructs the form to make a show that is fun and inclusive for everyone!

Come and see this FREE 25-35 minute Punch and Judy show on The Folly - outside The Shire Hall.
