The Big Grin – a national celebration of Mr. Punch’s 350th Birthday

Posted by | Apr 5, 2012 | , , |

With this headline, the grand celebration of Mr. Punch’s anniversary has been announced. It will take place on Saturday 12th May in London’s Covent Garden Piazza, right where Samuel Pepys said he saw the character back in 1662.

This public presentation is directed at the press, puppeteers and all who are interesed in the world of puppetry.

El Retablo de Maese Pedro by Etcétera inaugurates the newly renovated Teatro Romea in the city of Murcia

On the 9th of March the Teatro Romea in the city of Murcia will once again open its doors after having been closed for several years. This real architectural beauty, built in 1962 in neo-classical style, is characterised by a wonderful façade in an eclectic style that includes modernist details such as the theatre awning, and the cast iron grilles that decorate the entrance alongside the busts of Beethoven, Mozart and Listz. To celebrate the inauguration of this new period, the theatre has chosen Etcétera Teatro’s excellent version of the opera “El Retablo de Maese Pedro” (Master Peter’s Puppet...
