An Introduction

Jack Pratchard is the tale of a man who dies and discovers just what is on the other side of life.

It is a strange and charming new story, told with paper theatre, a record player and a soundtrack of the Schubert Octet, conceived and created by Jonathan Storey and directed by Seonaid Goody.

With his marvelous theatrical machine Jonathan Storey reveals an ever changing series of beautifully coloured scenes and characters, creating a world like an animated painting.
