What I liked
Unique, funny, with a wow-out-loud moment: myself and no less than three fellow theatre-goers audibly exclaimed, “Wow!” at the spectacle, and I won’t spoil more than that!
Watching the ducks act like ducks was delightfully satisfying.
Jordan is a masterful puppeteer, with spot on timing from mouth to hand.
What I didn't like
Howe displayed a much faster rate of speech than her duck, and the result was a strange lip sync – like I was watching something that was dubbed, and in my head I kept thinking, “it’s because I don’t speak duck.” As a result my focus was split between puppeteer and puppet- a concept I’d be very interested exploring if intentional.
My overall impression
An utterly charming, visually stimulating, existential puppet show. A lighthearted “Waiting for Godot” – make that Goduck!
