About the Show

The Monkey King delights in his new job in the Heavenly Peach Garden, snatching delicious, forbidden peaches and hoping to learn how the heavenly immortals live forever. But when he finds out that he's been left out of the Jade Emperor’s Peach Blossom Banquet, Monkey flies off to make mischief in the Heavens. Puppeteer Margaret Moody presents this lively episode of the Chinese epic “Journey to the West” with traditional Taiwanese hand puppets and choreography.

All ages welcome, recommended for 4+
As of January 2023, masks are strongly encouraged for audience members ages 2 and up.

About the Artist

Margaret Moody studied Bu Dai Xi (‘cloth bag theater’) style puppetry with the I Wan Jan Traditional Hand Puppet Troupe in Taiwan in the 1980s. She loves the acrobatics of Taiwanese puppetry – puppets flipping on stage, jumping through windows– as well as the subtle movements of sitting or walking. Look for Bu Dai Xi style puppets in all her solo shows, performed solo and with Madeleine Beresford. Margaret also enjoys working with all sorts of puppets as a member of Jacek Zuzanski’s Dream Tale Puppets. She lives in Arlington, MA.
