Tiny Ninja Theater, directed by Dov Weinstein.
'No small parts, only small actors'
Tiny Ninja Theater is a New York City based company of 'Tiny Ninjas', as found in vending machines across the city, and other 'assorted dime store figures'.
First appearing as part of the New York International Fringe Festival in 2000 it is the brainchild of puppeteer Dov Weinstein, who presents tiny versions of Shakespeare's plays to small audiences.
Ninja takes the title role for the first time in Shakespeare's great tragedy which sees new and innovative stage effects for the inch high cast, and television screens enabling a greater insight into the action.
'Delightful and amusing, you leave the theater energized and oddly moved
