Puppets.

Puff said “Working with Jonathan Broughton (Director of the RSC’s Fantastic Mr Fox) was inspirational.”

“Puff in a Huff” was Puff’s theatrical debut with KINN, having previously been responsible for guarding Peter Jones, Duncan Bannatyne, James Caan, Theo Paphitis and Deborah Meaden.  Puff trained with Hagrid at Hogwarts School, graduating with a first prize in Fire Blowing and Dragonic Arts. Puff enjoys taking the younger less experienced company members under his wing while regaling them fiery anecdotes.

Henry took the title role in “Henry’s Wobbly Tooth” and returned to the company for “Puff in a Huff”.  He is keen on promoting healthy lifestyles amongst other children and company members. Henry sees himself as an excellent role model and has a large following of both children and adults. Henry doesn’t suffer from asthma however because of his commitment to authenticity he researched the subject thoroughly and hopes his portrayal of an asthmatic ( Puff in a Huff) was convincing and helpful. He looks forward to working with KINN again in the future.

Multi-talented Henry is also a keen musician.

Woofle has supported KINN’s Creative Director, Rosamond Palmer, for a number of years, including appearing as the chef in “Disaster in the Kitchen” and most recently “Puff in a Huff”.  He particularly enjoys working with children and sees his main strength as comedy. An actor of few words - we did manage to get the following quote -”Woof!”.

Ciggy du Maurier is a well known favourite in Vegas, starring in her one woman show “Glamour Eyes.” Ciggy came to Hastings to take the sea air and recover from burnout.  KINN has no delusions about what a privilege it has been to work with her!
