Definition
- Punch and his wife, ludy, the popular British marionette and puppet characters, date back to the character of Pulcinella from the 16th-century Italian Commedia dell'Arte. Punch and ludy follow a set formula and the audience provides opportunities for improvisation performed with a transportable booth stage known as a fit-up.
