Description Ronnie Burkett Theatre of Marionettes
Billy Twinkle Requiem for a Golden Boy

Audio described performance 26 March 7.15

Billy Twinkle is a middleaged cruise ship puppeteer who dazzles audiences with his ‘Stars in Miniature’ marionette nightclub act. Saucy burlesque stripper Rusty titillates the tourists and roller-skating juggler Bumblebear steals their hearts. Billy is the best in the business and on top of
the world, until he is fired.

Contemplating a watery demise, Billy is called back to reality by the ghost of his dead mentor Sid Diamond and forced to rekindle his passion for puppets, people and the dream of a life that sparkles.

For anyone stuck mid-career, mid-love, mid-life, this requiem for a golden boy shines a light on the wonder of youth meeting the wisdom of age.
