Sultan's Elephant: Lunch Time Post
How can you not love the "little" girl and elephant? Thank you to Wendy Ewald (New York) for sending me to ArtAngel (London) that led to The Sultan's Elephant (London) that led to Hilary Talbot (Australia) blog. Ms. Talbot tracks puppets and techniques. Mixed site, but some real winners.
Royal de Luxe puppet company performed in London in May 2006. Just fabulous.

Artichoke Ltd was the co-producer of the Sultan's Elephant in London. A new book about the event is available through thesultanselephant.com.
