Dr Dolittle

January 1998
Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, London. The Theatre Production staring Philip Schofield required numerous animatronic creatures to fill the stage and for the Dr to perform with. We also had to resolve where the puppeteers could be hidden in the surrounding set to give a good performance and yet in such a way as not to make it obvious that there was someone there.
