sharplittleteethPuppets. Lego. And a person with a city growing in their brain.
Sounds like a great show, right?
Unfortunately, City Head was a disappointment.
It's advertised as running for a half hour. It actually ran for under fifteen minutes. I don't know whether they left out scenes or what, but there was almost no development of the ideas. It was literally patient tells doctor he has headaches, doctor diagnoses city head, the little people in the city sing a song, patient is cured, the end. The audience were left blinking in confusion.
It's a shame. The Lego city sets were quite elaborate, the puppeteer playing the doctor was especially good - droll, smug, and slightly dodgy. The best bit of the show was before it began, when he brought the puppet out to talk to the people in line, calling the children dwarfs and prodding the adults while assuring them it was okay, he's a doctor.
But the actual show... it just a pity it didn't run the advertised half-hour, and use that time to develop its ideas.
