The Fisherman and the Seal

Based on the myths and legends of the Scottish Selkie, Yugen Puppet Company tells the comic tale of a lonely fisherman, falling in love with a seal and how in matters of love, things don’t always go according to plan. Using hand crafted puppets and striking shadow silhouettes, with music from the past, Yugen puppet Company puts its own twist on this, usually tragic, Scottish fairy tale.

Yugen Puppet Company was set up to re-tell Scottish fairytales. Alison Monaghan has over twenty years of puppetry experience and also free-lances as a performer, puppeteer, puppet designer, puppet maker, director and illustrator. Yugen Puppet Company performs to schools, community venues, art centres and theatres.
