Reviews

“The final scene was both magical and sad, a fitting end to a unique experience”

"rouge28's true magic is in the simple moments"
Animations online (www.puppetcentre.org.uk) - Matt Jackson – Edition 32, winter 2011

“The actress gracefully swayed across the stage, bringing her puppet to life, like the mysterious lady had done with Urashima’s drowned body."
"Like Urashima, I was fascinated and captured!"
Council for the Advancement of Arts, Recreation and Education (caare.wordpress.com) - Liza Adebisi – 12/06/2008
