The HartlePool Monkey

“Highly skilful, slick and unsettling. The monkey naturally becomes the star of the show. The puppetry is deft and detailed.”
THE STAGE

“The monkey is oddly, heartbreakingly human; it is the humans who behave like animals.”
THE GUARDIAN

“I admit to having a tear in my eye and lump in my throat.”
HARTLEPOOL MAIL

“An often hectic, frequently funny and boldly theatrical presentation. It makes a strong case for tolerance and understanding.”
BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE

“A sparkling production, combining the fascination of a myth and a strong message for the present. Gyre & Gimble show that puppetry is an evocative way to open minds no matter the age.”
