Description
A portable puppet show toured around the island by Chris Brookes and Lynn Lunde, Punch and Judy was presented in casual outdoor settings for children across rural Newfoundland. The plot follows the puppet Punch, who goes on a naughty rampage bumping people in his neighbourhood, before being caught by the Devil for his shenanigans. Just when we think Punch has been stopped, he defeats the Devil and claims he is therefore free to do as he likes.
