‘The Banker’s Progress’: A Peepshow in Three Parts – Coming Soon!

‘The Raree Man’s Peepshow’ is Tony Lidington’s latest venture into the world of historical, nonsensical popular entertainments: like ‘Uncle Tacko’s Flea Circus’ and ‘The Imaginarium’  this is the next brilliantly bonkers and highly entertaining project to explore historical forms in contemporary contexts. Promenade Promotions has teamed up with Northcott Theatre, Exeter University and The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum to recreate the pre-cinematic  entertainments of the 18^th and 19^th centuries: peepshows were for both amusement and education in a wondering age. The Raree Man’s Peepshow has been brought into the 21^st century, with the use of digital multimedia combined with traditional skills of puppetry, storytelling and and showmanship. ‘Peepers’ can peep once, twice or indeed three times or just immerse themselves in The Raree Man’s unique and mad-cap tales.
