Hodman and Sally have lived happily by themselves for hundreds of years, blissfully unaware of the changing world around them. Now they are venturing out in search of fame, fortune and friendship, enjoying a second youth touring the world with their possessions strapped to their backs.
Hodman Dodmanott and Sally Forth are wonderful wanderers from the proud country of Oblivia. Despite being completely oblivious (and proud of it) Hodman and Sally will adorably attempt to explain the new and baffling world around them. The effect of meeting this memorable couple is often described as ‘spellbinding’- people of all ages are captivated by the ingenious illusion and the witty personalities of the two characters.
These characters are ‘pod’ puppets where the puppeteer is completely concealed within the costume. This creates the charming illusion of an elderly couple of miniature proportions, with huge personalities and a not-so-firm grip on the ways of modern living. This is a unique, well loved, gentle and quick-witted act.
