Blind Summit 

Blind Summit Theatre are doing for puppetry what South Park did for cartoons. They subvert the artform to tell grown up stories full of wit and visual invention. Over the past ten years they have produced their own shows including Mr China's Son, Low Life, An Odde Angel, The Spaceman, Pirate Puppetry, Real Man, Martin's Wedding, Tramping the Boards, and collaborated as puppetry creators on many shows including Anthony Minghella's award winning Madam Butterfly for ENO and Met Opera, Shunkin with Complicite, On Emotion with Mick Gordon at Soho Theatre, Faeries with Will Tuckett and ROH2, The Time Step with Linda Marlowe, A Dulditch Angel with Eastern Angles, Cherevichi at Garsington Opera. They are currently adapting George Orwell's 1984 with Annie Siddons and BAC.

Blind Summit worked in the Darkroom in 2007 with playwright Rebecca Lenkeweicz, puppeteers Giulia Innocenti, Brigida Neves, Oliver Smart, Sean Myatt, and Finn Caldwell and puppets Lolly and Petras to create scenes and characters that explored the idea of puppets working with text. In particular Rebecca was interested to see if subtext could work with puppets. At the end of the week Paul Warwick directed the scenes. A fabulously free creative week which led to no conclusions but opened up lots of possibilities and ideas.

Rebecca and Blind Summit subsequenty worked together by fortune on Will Tuckett's marvellous Faeries production for ROH2 in 2008.

Blind Summit Theatre are Artististic Directors Mark Down and Nick Barnes. Producer Helen Hodge.
