It is seldom that you find one person as accomplished in so many performing arts as Al: a puppeteer, an acrobat, a mime, a playwright, a puppet builder, and a magician of the heart-I mean, how many people could make you care about the monster under your bed? Allison Daniel can do it. Her expression can change from confused fear to Karen Black’s feral anticipation of destruction from “Trilogy of Terror” in moments. Beyond that, there is hysterical audience participation.Īl can Cirque until the Soleil comes up, throwing her body into contortions and space with ease. When the little monster becomes one with the woman, the show changes from puppetry to a cross between Pinocchio becoming a real boy, an Olympic gymnastics routine, and a Japanese Noh fantasy of possession. There is shadow puppetry, too, as a smaller imp treks across a sleeping silhouette. The creature explores the bedroom of a sleeping woman and the contents of her purse, making cheerful mayhem.

It is operated by a black-hooded Allison, holding molded grips and moving the arms of her creation. In Allison Daniel’s The Devil You Know, it’s purple, has horns, and a horn on its nose. I know that we’re grown-ups, and we don’t believe in such things, but…there’s a monster under the bed.
