This play of light and shadow, the most ancient of all the puppet arts, tells the classic Just-So story of Rudyard Kipling. Inspired by traditional paintings of north-east India, these moving shadows beautifully re-create the story of the time when the world was young, and woman tamed man, dog, horse and cow but . . . did she tame cat?
Narrated with gentle humour, this magical performance is created using simple technology and will entrance all those over the age of six.

'A really beautiful show. The audience was entranced!' - Jane Corry, Norden Farm Arts Centre

"The puppets were undeniably beautifully drawn and cut, especially those that used black, white and greys and they were a pleasure to watch." - Bob Frith, Horse and Bamboo
