Professor Patel presents his Bollywood Punjeet & Judygee Show.
It’s over three and half centuries since Samuel Pepys’ first mention of a Punch & Judy puppet show in Covent Garden. Now multiculturalism has spawned a re-imagining of the great British Punch and Judy tradition.
Leaving a dusty field in Mother India, the story follows the travails of Punjeet as he leaves for the UK “where the streets are paved with gold”. He meets and marries Judy-gee…this is the age-old story of arranged marriages, domestic violence and infanticide…..it’s a family show! The Bollywood Punjeet & Judygee Show is a charming variation on the traditional themes of Punch & Judy, with lots of audience interaction, topical satire, celebrity guests and of course Bollywood music and dancing!
Professor Patel also offers a traditional Punch & Judy show.
