Dunster will work with designer Paul Wills and puppetry director Steve Tiplady, former artistic director of Little Angel Theatre Company, to transform the Globe in to an “arena of wild spectacle with larger than life puppets and illusion”. Huge flying dragons and horned stilt walkers will help to bring alive what is being billed as a “dark fantastical world”.
