The Folding Theatre Puppet Company was formed by Iain Halket in 1992. From the outset the company had strong ideas about what it wished to accomplish.•To provide high quality entertainment for audiences of all ages (regardless of what age group a particular show was aimed at). •For an audience to learn something during the course of a show. But without seeming to sermonise or overstate the ideas within the story. People learn best through enjoyment.•To create shows using simple theatrical conventions to show that you need nothing flashy to tell a story with. And unlike magicians we have no qualms about explaining how things are accomplished.•And finally, we wanted to enjoy ourselves while telling stories. Iain started young! At the age of five or six he was already telling his parents fantastical stories about imaginary animals. And they, being loving parents, indulged him!Please visit our website at http://www.foldingtheatre.co.uk
