2008? Shadow Theater: Fables. For stories from Aesop, La Fontaine and other animal tales. Budapest, Hungary: Manufaktor Studio. $19 from the manufacturer through Etsy, June, '20.
This is a very creative and engaging set of materials. The materials, which take some shaping and assembling, include a stage with a translucent backdrop, for a shadow show, a number of characters, about a dozen stiff cardboard characters and props to cut out and attach to a set of thin straws. There are scripts in six different languages for GA; FC; "The Wolf and the Fox"; FS, FG, and UP. So clever and so well made!
2020? Hartpappen Puppentheater "Fabel." Prague: Czech Puppets & Marionettes TKY07. €126, August, ’25.
This I will remember as one of my most difficult purchases. Ursula Kuhn found it on her phone as we chatted in Heidelberg. At home again, I looked it up and decided to order, with a significant shipping charge. After a number of weeks, the wrong theater arrived. I had to go through the Czech embassy to communicate with the store. When some good communication finally happened, they shipped the proper theater, ready to show fables from Aesop, La Fontaine, Krylov, and others. This is a beautiful set of materials, worth waiting for!
