ANTHONY

COME HERE AND PULL MY STRINGS

Each string operates a different part of Anthony's body. He was one of the star patients of Doctor Smallman's Nursing Home in Forkbeard's 'HYPOCHONDRIA' (1987). Made by Penny Saunders he was the Doctor's model patient in every sense of the word. He consisted of so much spare-part surgery it was unclear how alive he really was. He is constructed much like a traditional marionette, ball-joints and all - but for his three free-rolling roving eyes.

MISS MOODY

Also created for the show 'HYPOCHONDRIA' (1987). At the very sight of her Doctor she bursts into uncontrollable sobbing. She is much happier these days - a change she attributes to meeting so many people in this exhibition. She has no face - partly as an expression of the Doctor's lack of interest in his patients and partly to enable her final revenge at the end of the show where she flew from her chair, latched onto his face and took him with her up the chimney

THE BRITTONIONI BROTHERS

These figures were made by Myra Heller especially for this exhibition. The Brittonioni Bros. have been long-standing characters in the Forkbeard repertoire since 1983. Ludicrously pompous, over-blown Avant-garde film-makers they are far more interested in the cut of their trousers than the cut of their Films. They're most at home in the jet-plane, jetting from one International Film Festival to the next, picking up awards and meeting very old and very famous friends. The Brittonionis, ironically, achieved such genuine popularity they really did appear at an array of International Theatre and Film Festivals around the world ............. which was fine by their creators.

THE FLYING USHERETTES

These three crones were the usherette sisters of Roderick Lilyhair de Usherette in Forkbeard's 'THE FALL of the HOUSE OF USHERETTES' (1996), a show produced as Forkbeard's own tribute to 100 Years of Cinema. It was all set in an ancient crumbling cinema, the Empire, riddled with the ghostly memories of the magical years of early cinema. The three sisters were ferocious guardians of LIQUID FILM, a long extinct celluloid mixture once sprayed from specialised projectors and formerly produced in the Empire's subterranean film studios.
