Performing Shakespeare, Wilde and Coward has traditionally posed many dramatic obstacles for actors of all kinds. For Frank Peshka and Bill Murdock, there are additional obstacles — they are puppeteers. Academy Award-winning filmmaker Robin Lehman’s "The Little Players" follows the creative process of Peshka and Murdock from their Ohio retreat where they brainstorm new dramatic material, to their energetic rehearsals, to their humorous and polished performances. Through personal interviews and revealing footage from backstage during rehearsals and performances, Lehman captures the true essence of what makes puppetry a unique form of the dramatic arts. A Robin Lehman film.
