專家說明

The Punch and Judy show has origins in the 16th-Century Italian Commedia Dell'Arte. The figure of Punch derives from the Neapolitan stock character of Pulcinella, which was Anglicised to Punchinello.
The figure who later became Mr. Punch made his first recorded appearance in England on 9 May 1662. The diarist Samuel Pepys observed a marionette show featuring an early version of the Punch character in Covent Garden in London. Pepys described the event in his diary as "an Italian puppet play, that is within the rails there, which is very pretty."
