On until 31 Mar
Bantock House Museum
The Harlequinade developed as an English pantomime between the 17th and mid-19th centuries. It was at first a slapstick adaptation of the Italian 16th century commedia dell’arte but went on to be the favourite element of Victorian panto.
This exhibition looks at the Harlequinade in England through puppets and Toy Theatre, giving insight into its four main characters: Harlequin, Columbine, Pantaloon and of course the mischievous Clown!
