This book looks at the work of Australian puppeteers over the last 50 years, with particular emphasis on developments in the 1970s and '80s. Puppet theatre enjoyed a worldwide resurgence in this time but was not well documented. "Theatre of the Impossible" is a major reference work on the subject. It provides information on a wide range of artists, companies, puppets and productions. It is also a fascinating glimpse into this magical world of theatrical illusion.
