The Sorrowful Tale Of Sleeping Sidney

A macabre Victorian tale of intrigue, obsession, murder ad confectionery.

Inspired by real local history, this puppet told tale is sugary but certainly not sweet - you’ll leave with a bitter taste in your mouth!

Daisy Jordan, founder of Barely Human Puppets, is a visual artist, puppeteer and performer living in Brighton. As a maker and manipulator of puppets, her work tends to explore the tension between the real and the imaginary; the delightful and the grotesque; and the sweet and the unsavoury. For Daisy, puppetry is an ideal way of combining two of her passions: stories and making.
