The Paper Escaper is a joyous and visually stunning puppetry experience. This inventive and heartwarming production by Terrapin Puppet Theatre combines physical performance, original music, and incredible paper-crafted puppetry to tell the story of Benny, a character who dares to dream beyond the edges of his pop-up book world. When Benny breaks free from the constraints of his pages and defies his maker, he embarks on a colourful, action-packed adventure filled with humour, heart, and unexpected friendship.
