The Kelmscott Chaucer is considered to be a masterpiece of publishing. The Kelmscott Press was the creation of renowned Arts & Crafts designer William Morris, and the Chaucer publication was lavishly illustrated by Edward Burne-Jones. Now Little Blue Moon Theatre takes the artwork to a whole new dimension.
Puppet artist Michael Nelson has collaborated with the McCune Collection of Rare Books to create a work of toy theatre (miniature theatre) based on the classic writings of Chaucer and using the Kelmscott Chaucer, especially the woodcuts of Edward Burne-Jones, as design inspiration for Little Blue Moon’s toy theatre staging.
