DESCRIPTION:We’re so pleased to kick off Mayo Street Arts’ Puppets in 
 Portland Festival here in the Park! \n“Judy Punches Back\,” Puppet Mot
 ion’s modern interpretation of the traditional “Punch and Judy” show
 \, is a hilarious\, timely\, hand-crafted farce that can be enjoyed by the
  whole family. \nAfter being pushed around for over 400 years\, the famous
  hand puppet heroine Judy has had enough. Audience members young and old c
 heer her on as she goes on a quest for respect\, justice\, and a well-dese
 rved nap. \n“Punch and Judy” is a British puppet show with roots in th
 e 16th-century Italian Commedia dell’arte character Pulcinella. The the 
 fast-paced\, comedic shows center around the chaotic Mr. Punch and his lon
 g-suffering wife\, Judy\, as Punch features outwits authority figures like
  the police\, a crocodile\, and the Devil using his signature “slapstick
 ” club. \nThe puppet show was first recorded in England on May 9\, 1662\
 , by diarist Samuel Pepys\, who watched an Italian showman perform in Lond
 on’s Covent Garden. Over time\, the show evolved into a staple of Britis
 h seaside resorts\, with Mr. Punch transitioning from a marionette (string
  puppet) to the glove puppet we know today.
