Edward Gordon Craig wrote a number of scripts for puppets in a series called 'Drama for Fools'. He also collected English Toy Theatres and once devoted a part of his famous review, 'The Mask' to this subject. Papierthéâtre, the paper theatre devoted company could not resist the desire to join this technique with a 'Drama for Fools' script and chose 'Romeo and Juliet' for the purpose. The company’s passion for the technique is the result of a meeting between Alain Lecucq and George Speaight in 1969 at the Little Angle Theatre. A 15 minute post-show chat follows the performance.
