Stills from our Spooky Shadow Puppet performances of 

 

JABBERWOCKY by Lewis Carroll (from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)

 

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
  And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  The frumious Bandersnatch!"

And the 'Witches Spell' from Macbeth by William Shakespeare

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

shadowpuppets03

Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
