Like what you saw? Norwich Puppet Theatre has a shadow production at the theatre on the 13th and 14th April which demonstrates many of the techniques explored in the clips. ‘The Cat that Walked by Himself’ tells the classic Just-So story of Rudyard Kipling. Inspired by traditional paintings of north-east India, these moving shadows beautifully re-create the story of the time when the world was young, and woman tamed man, dog, horse and cow but . . . did she tame cat? It is a magical show for children and adults, narrated with a gentle humour. For more information contact Norwich Puppet Theatre box office on 01603 629921
