On Friday night, C and I went to see an 'adult' puppet play at the quaint Martha Cohen theatre in downtown Calgary. The title was 'The Erotic Anguish of Don Juan' and we knew it was going to be fun when the the opening speech warned of puppet nudity. The story was told by a real actor who played the ghost of Don Juan, the fictional 'world's greatest lover'. All other characters were played by exquisite handmade puppets, often with up to 3 actors playing the one character where each actor held different puppet body parts (including a set of breasts worn on one actor's head!) Throughout the play, the audience were in hysterics, making it clear to see how this play has been a hit all across Canada. An 'adult' puppet play, accompanied by bubbles before and after the show made for a wonderful start to the weekend!
