The Puppet Van

Join Malcolm Brushell, a professional painter and amateur alchemist, on his quest to find the pinky-est pink paint on the planet!

Through cracking rocks, mashing every conceivable vegetable, and even bottling and fermenting his own cow’s wee, he has created every colour imaginable. Through stunning puppetry and an energy fuelled performance all on top of a van, join this race to create the most potent pigmented pink paint imaginable.

The Puppet Van is an outdoor touring venue that presents socially distant performances 2m in the air.

Award-winning visual theatre company Half a String have bought their brand of breath-taking puppetry, stunning set design and innovative performance to the outdoors.
This accessible hugely flexible roaming venue is perfect for audiences to experience a full live theatre experience at a socially distanced event with no compromises.
