Summary

Pathe synopsis: There’s a children’s world in the heart of London, a world of fairy lights and laughter created by John Wright and his company of puppeteers at the Little Angel Theatre in the middle of Islington’s grim streets. This is a show which never ends, and children eagerly flock to the tiny playhouse to laugh and shout at the absurd antics of the puppets. Just flex those wooden limbs - and you’ve got a fascinating Black and White Minstrel Show.
