The Mighty How is the story of two people with a communication problem, emotional puppets, terrible danger, a fabulous machine they both love and the tangled web they weave trying to simplify their world.

Locked in the workplace with the looming threat of disaster, Felicity and Felix must solve their problem and save the day. Putting their heads together they create an ingenious machine to help them out of a tight spot - all the while making what could have been a simple solution enormously complex! During the construction of the machine, they discover things about themselves and each other that will change their lives forever.

The Mighty How is an engaging production that combines puppetry with actors, science, sound and music. The puppetry involves hand puppets, two dimensional puppets and the creation of a working machine on stage.

The Mighty How was created in collaboration with Terrapin Puppet Theatre.
