SUMMARY:Modern Times Theater's "The Perils of Mr. Punch"
DESCRIPTION:This is the one and only Punch and Judy\, presented live\, a
 nd updated for the 21st century.\n\nAllow Mr. Punch to remove your bad m
 ood\, in this absurdist delight for four out of the five senses. Watch a
 s Judy tames unruly plumbing while avoiding the jaws of the carnivore du
  jour! And\, feast your eyes upon the diaper change that should not be! 
 The script has been updated to remove the traditional murder and misogyn
 y of a Punch and Judy show\, but Mr. Punch still swings a verbal slapsti
 ck at the powers that be.\n\nIt’s a melodrama of epically small propor
 tions\, and it’s so funny that you’ll forget to take out your phone 
 for at least the first half-hour. It’s a low-tech old-time spectacle\,
  as entertaining to the masses of today as it was three hundred years ag
 o.\n\nThe hand puppets are created from up-cycled designer trash and per
 formed in an eccentric itinerant puppet stage. The show is hosted per tr
 adition by a “bottler”\, the uku-lady Rose Friedman. Justin Lander--
  showman of the absurd-- portrays all the characters.\n\nThe program is 
 rounded out with live music played on a variety of instruments\, from th
 e cornet to the bicycle pump.\n\nFunded in part by the New England State
 s Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts\, made poss
 ible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Tour
 ing Program and the six New England state arts agencies.
