Knuckle and Joint was born in 2014 and is run by visual artist Peter Morton and producer Rebecca O’Brien.

The Kent based company produces both indoor and outdoor performance that tour both nationally and internationally. Knuckle and Joint has been funded by Medway Council, Ideastap and most recently the Arts Council for their puppet cabaret, The Black Hoods Cabaret that sold out at the world famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

We thrive to create wonderfully visceral worlds through our intelligent puppet design and innovative visual theatre. We are fun, passionate and gloriously sarcastic.
