No aspect of our mental life is more important to the quality and meaning of our existence than emotions. They are what make life worth living, or sometimes ending. They are what motivate our behaviour and influence our beliefs.
With Rhian Blythe (Deep Cut), Caroline Catz (Doc Martin, The Vice), Mark Down (Blind Summit) and James Wilby (Gosford Park, Howard's End).
Maverick Theatre-maker Mick Gordon and neuropsychologist Paul Broks join forces with acclaimed puppeteers, Blind Summit, to use and abuse the tools of the theatre, an art form which creates and manipulates feelings, to explore the complicated and crucial arena of human emotion.

Are we just the puppet of our emotions?
'I do not often emerge from a play feeling my mind has been provoked, challenged and inspired. But this 90 minute, fascinating piece of theatre by Mick Gordon and neuropsychologist Paul Broks left me interestingly brain-stirred.'
**** Evening Standard'Searching, moving, life-giving. '
**** Sunday Times'I salute the acting, especially that of Wilby, which is resourceful and deftly controlled, Catz is foxy and charming, and Down little short of brilliant.'
