Product Overview

A rich retelling of the long-beloved – and literally slapstick – puppet show, Judy & Punch captures the small-minded hostility and domestic acrimony kindled by parochialism and the patriarchal subjugation of women. In conversation with writer/director Mirrah Foulkes, Anthony Carew unpacks the film's interrogation of the societal strings that pull us into scapegoating and aggression.
