Mr Punch

Taken during the Big Grin – a celebration marking the ‘birthday’ of Mr Punch. The date has been chosen because Samuel Pepys made an entry in his diary for 9 May 1662, noting the marionette performance of "Signor Bologna" in Covent Garden.

The Big Grin featured a parade of Professors around the piazza, a mass photocall, and then individual performances.
