Puppetry

Storm Boy

Bringing the puppets to life

Ellen Bailey, Emily Burton and Drew Wilson are the puppeteers who give life to Storm Boy's penguins, snakes, fish and, of course, pelicans.

Alongside the cast of Storm Boy are another trio of performers who bring a menagerie of creatures to life on stage.

Hear from puppeteers Ellen Bailey, Emily Burton and Drew Wilson about how they breathe life into the puppets of Storm Boy.
