This is the play that wonders how far we’ve come.

“Now, what I want is facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but facts.”
Two of Toronto’s most acclaimed independent theatre companies – Puppetmongers (Tea at the Palace, Cinderella in Muddy York) and the night kitchen (Radio: 30, Big Head Goes to Bed) join forces to bring you a savagely funny new adaptation of Dickens’ satire of laissez-faire capitalism and Utilitarian political philosophy. Using mask and puppetry, three performers create a world in which the laws of supply and demand are the sole basis of all human interaction.

“Puppetry just doesn’t get any better than Ann and David’s work”
