I can easily see children enjoying the running gags in the puppet plays. And depending on what is done with the historical figures, I could see the plays appealing to adults, as well.

Thank you for bringing back memories of my younger days. My first summer job as a teenager was performing in a drama troupe that travelled to local day camps and performed puppet shows, mime, skits, singalongs, etc. Most of the troupe (myself included) was not very good, objectively speaking, but we were enthusiastic. Fortunately, our audience was of an age which valued enthusiasm over either talent or polished performances, and we were therefore always well received. That was far and away the most fun job I have ever had.

Joy,
