Spejbl

The puppet, allegedly made from a sketch by Prof. Skupa, was created by Karel Nosek, a woodcarver from Pilsen. The exact date of his debut is not known, it was at sometime in the autumn of 1920 at the “Loutkové divadlo feriálních osad” (Puppet Theatre of Ferial Camps) at the “Řemeslnická beseda” in Pilsen. Spejbl was a partner to the much-loved Mr. Punch in Pilsen in an encore to a performance for children.
