Turnabout: The Story Of The Yale Puppeteers

10th Annual Boston Gay & Lesbian Film/Video Festival
Documentary about the Yale Puppeteers. A bit eccentric, certainly off beat and creative, the puppeteers and their story - as well as their place in history - is meticulously documented and tugs at the heartstrings.
For more than 70 years, Harry Burnett, his cousin Forman Brown, and Forman’s lifetime companion Roddy Brandon traveled through America’s big cities and small towns, delighting multitudes of adults with their captivating puppets and lively, satirical songs. This is the story of their long, happy, and productive lives, of the unique, world-famous puppet and cabaret theater they created in Hollywood, and about Forman’s work as a pioneering gay author, whose recently rediscovered and widely acclaimed autobiographical novel, Better Angel, has been a revelation to straight and gay readers alike.
