Welcome to
Portsmouths Puppet Lady
Im a storyteller and puppeteer- I love to create one woman shows and performance pieces, that brings local history & magical tales to life through immersive practise and physical theatre. I separate my business into three strands –
Adventures from the Potting Shed – Traditional tales and real life stories written and performed by Rachella the Storyteller using puppetry, music and mayhem!
Red Sauce Theatre – Educational Strand Includes: Schools – Museums and Award Winning Community Theatre
The Snobby Dodgems – End of the pier, Seaside Victorian Entertainment with an eerie twist – Brilliant at Cosplay and Steampunk events and festivals
