Meet Gareth. Gareth of Antarctica. And his maker and author-of-adventures, Sam Longley, who I can’t stop thinking of now as Gepetto.

There’s also Leon Hendroff, master puppet maker…

Clare Testoni, magic shadow maker…

Philip Mitchell (Spare Parts Artistic Director), puppet choreographer extraordinaire.

Together they are slowly, lovingly bringing Gareth into being. I can’t wait to creep into Spare Parts Puppet Theatre again soon to watch the tale unfold. Watch this space 🙂 …
