Re-write[edit]

This article will need to be rewritten from scratch using reliable, third-party sources. The existing text was built entirely on a copy-paste from the theatre's website five years ago, which repeatedly meanders off-topic into a general (and sometimes questionable) history of puppetry in Britain. Its tone is anecdotal and unencyclopedic throughout, as it was originally written for other purposes.

A quick Google search for third-party references turns up a 2010 Telegraph article -- "Harlequin Theatre: puppet love" -- and one from the Daily Post -- "Rhos on Sea puppet theatre could become museum". So at least the subject can be deemed notable.

I went ahead and did a rewrite. The new version aims to be more concise and on-topic, and it uses information from a few (hopefully reliable) third-party sources in addition to the primary source. - AtticusX (talk) 17:07, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
