There’s more than a bit of frustration here – “Unlike everywhere else in the world, America has long thought of puppetry as a children’s medium, relegated to sock puppets and kids’ television.” – but the Detroit Film Theatre’s showing of Puppet will address that and help to rectify it, too.

The Under the Poppy crowd will, of course, be present for this showing, so if you’re sitting in our aisle, please do say hello.
