This sketch was made at the Victoria and Albert Museum by the Brighton-based illustrator, author, poet, performer and teacher Curtis Tappenden. He particularly enjoys sketching circus and has made hundreds of lightning drawings capturing the moment at the ringside, but sketched this image while some of the museum’s Victorian marionettes were being performed in the Globe, in the European Galleries, during the museum's performance festival on Sunday, 29 April 2018. Curtis was in the museum to run a drawing workshop and also sketched Metta Theatre's show in the lecture theatre.
Puppeteer Keith Frederick is shown standing in front of marionettes from the Tiller-Clowes troupe hanging from the struts of the Globe in the European Galleries. A short comic script was written to demonstrate the marionettes in performance and was performed with live music three times during the afternoon to an audience mainly comprising parents and children
