Lambert Puppet Theatre
The Lambert Puppet Theatre & Museum was a puppet theatre located in Monkstown, County Dublin, Ireland. It is a family-run business established in 1972 by Eugene Lambert, and hosted an international puppet festival annually. It used to produce children's television series on Radio Telefís Éireann, such as Wanderly Wagon.[1]
After Eugene Lambert, the theatre was run by his son, Liam. On August 28, 2015, it was badly damaged in an arson attack, which caused damage with a cost in excess of €150,000.[2][3]
On 13 November 2015, the theatre re-opened to the public with re-built puppets, for the Christmas performance of Aladdin,[4] however this re-opening was not to last, and it closed permanently in 2018.[5]
