Show Description
Rub-a-dub-dub, the Baker’s dead in the tub! His husband the Butcher is on trial… and the Candlestick Maker? Well, that’s another mystery.
In this darkly comic one-man show, puppeteer Adam Francis Proulx transforms a single puppet into twelve jurors tasked with deciding the Butcher’s fate. Along the way, they wrestle with the mystery of the Baker’s death, the flaws of the justice system, their own gnat-like attention spans, and their intolerance of people unlike themselves – and of lactose.
The award-winning BAKER’S DOZEN: 12 Angry Puppets has toured across North America and was taped for television by Bell Media.

-Crew Magazine
“An energetic performer, strong physical work, a nifty concept and a winning presentation add up to a whole lot of fun. I just hope these puppets never hold my fate in their cuddly little hands.”

“Each character is brilliantly crafted and possessed of humour and insight as different from every other character as up is from down.”
