Having kids avg age 3, one has the same brain capacity. Therefore the Punch and Judy Festival is ideal. Farts, bangs, silly hidings and seekings are an easy hit. The stories are incoherently bizarre and the techniques are trite at times (thought the slapstick is always great), but there are two things that save the experience. One is the script's aside references to whatever is topical or lampoonable. The stories are so inane that you can add whatever you like in and no one will worry. The other genius is that tiny space. The universe boiled down to so little. Then, everything is possible.
They say Punch has been going strong since 1662 which means he must be very versatile to survive so long
