These Fantastical Creatures were created for one of Ramshackle Theatre's productions, in which audiences were lead through woodlands in search of strange and wonderful characters.

(Images show Daniel Jeffrey and Fiona Angwin with creatures from the show).
This is Cerberus, the three headed dog that guards the entrance to the Underworld. This is a half-body costume, with the three heads being operated by the wearer's head and hands.



 Here is The Count, teaching a Vampire Master Class.



Baba Yaga's Chicken Leg Hut....from the Russian Folktale. This is a composite piece...the witch puppet is bought, and the Hut, and the Pestle and Mortar, are built around her. The little ravens on the roof can all rotate.



Here is the Psammead, or Sand Fairy, granting wishes.



This is a Russian Fairy...a Leshiye...It can disguise itself as an old man (or a wolf or an owl).



 But in it's natural form it looks like this!



We advise you not to mess with this dangerous creature!

(The Leshiye puppet is double ended...on the back of the 'old man's' head are fixed the faces of a wolf and an owl, while the end with the Leshiye's head is fully operational)

A final glimpse of The Green Man before leaving the woods.



This green man is a mask/plaque puppet. The mouth rustles nicely in use.
