A GROUP of puppeteers from the former Soviet Union took to the stage at Darlington Arts Centre last night.

The 11 artists from Tbilisi, in Georgia, were joined by three actors at the Darlington Arts Centre to retell the story of Faust. The show, which will be staged again tonight, was performed in Georgian but with an English synopsis.
