Directed and designed Half a String's production of Boulder.
In this reimagining of the Greek myth, an intricate puppet is doomed with the hopeless task of pushing a colossal stone up a hill. Trapped in an endless cycle, the man wrestles with his pointless existence cursing the futility of life. Boulder fuses transforming sets, puppetry and earthy hand-drawn animation, all accompanied by live cello, atmospheric voices and original music.
Supported by The Marlowe, co-commissioned by Warwick Arts Centre & ACE.

"Peter is a master craftsman who is inspired by both Japanese Bunraku puppetry and the Handspring Puppet Company and spent 18 months developing Boulder and making his intricate, mechanical works of art in both wood and steel."
(UK Theatre Network, 2019) 
"The intricacies of the puppets and props designed for this production are exquisite and add wonder to an already whimsical production."
