At last a Lambert Puppet Theatre show which really exploits the potential of this art form!

This production of Sinbad, which had its first airing yesterday, was rich with exciting visual images: there were the Black Theatre of Prague-style sea creatures, who lunged at each other, phosphorescent against the darkness; there was the tiny black form of Sinbad scaling the cliff, only to emerge, full (well, puppet)-sized in the next frame; there was the flying horse, etched tiny and black against the glow, then full-sized and sparkling and awaiting Sinbad's command ...

One can only commend Eugene Lambert for his directing and devising, and the Lambert Puppet Workshop for the design. Still, the script, by Conor Lambert, could have been more gripping. And the Lamberts should perhaps work harder on their voices, and cast their net wider to source new ones.

But good triumphed over bad in the Happy City, Sinbad clasped the princess to his cloth breast, and the children, some in terrifying droves which went under the name "parties", shouted themselves hoarse.

"I loved every little bit of it," commented my four-year-old companion. "Tell your friends if you liked it," suggested Eugene Lambert at the end, and I suppose that's what we're doing.
