Synopsis: When the lights come up, the stage is empty except for a table with two sheets of newspaper laid out on it. Then Phelim McDermott, Steve Tiplady, and Guy Dartnell appear, and with a few quick, deft motions the sheets are transformed into two animated creatures and then into a single one. It's a puppet, but not like one you've seen before, and even though we see its three handlers behind it, it moves with a logic and locomotion of its own; it even has a personality (and a sweet one at that). Later the Improbable threesome will create windows, door, doorknobs, gardens, staircases, hallways, rooms, and even an entire house out of sealing tape, and each new creation brings a childlike sense of wonder and delight at the sheer inventiveness of it all. It's all the more joyous because this is not Ed Sullivan Show gimmickry. It's real theatre: a new way to tell a story.

Synopsis: Three of them just amble on in their own characters and clothes, and begin to talk, muse, tell stories about some major theme, in this case, the instinct for war and violence that recurs through human history, the way men relate to it and the question of whether anything of us survives death. Somehow, the phrase "lantern lecture" comes to mind, along with the word "playgroup". There's sharp, jewel-like lighting, an ingenious set like a sloping roof full of little skylights and hatches, fine use of music and sound; sometimes, there are little puppets or toy aeroplanes, which take over the burden of the story and the action for a while.
