This ageless puppet play is brought to life—but fire-works! Punch and Judy, pining behind the tiny stage of their "closed" puppet theatre, are suddenly made aware of a live audience out front by their winsome little dog, Toby. Bursting from behind the puppet stage, they expand into live actors. In the end, they return to the puppet stage, singing "There'll always be a Punch and Judy," fading into their puppet selves behind the tiny faded curtain.

This is the approved one-act cutting of the compelling story of Charlie, a mentally retarded man, and the strange interweaving of his life with that of Algernon, a mouse. Experimental surgery has been performed on Algernon increasing his intelligence fourfold. The operation is tried on Charlie, whose intelligence rapidly increases to that of a genius. As Charlie approaches the peak of his brilliance, Algernon shows frightening symptoms of regression. The play becomes a race against time in which Charlie tries to keep his new intelligence long enough to save himself.
