Curtain Call
Cenral School of
Speech and Drama

Set in a bizarre world of opera and burlesque, the show was created by Toby and realised with a cast and production team of fellow students from the BA (Hons) Theatre Practice course as part of their training's final year assessment.

The show used numerous scales of puppet alongside found objects and shadow puppetry, to recount the story of a jealous opera diva and her downfall from fame into a seedy cabaret after she takes revenge on her glamorous and upstaging sister.
