SUSPENSE: London Puppetry Festival ‘09 was the first festival of puppetry to take place across London for over 25 years. All the work programmed in SUSPENSE is for adults. Over 10 days a range of performances, master classes and symposia take place at venues across the capital.
SUSPENSE is exploding the myths that currently surround puppetry in this country, proving that puppets aren’t just for kids. It showcases a diverse range of contemporary work from UK and international practitioners, bringing puppetry to new adult audiences.
