Petrushka
Petrushka is a character from Russian folk puppetry. Traditionally dressed in red, with a red kolpak, or pointed hat, Petrushka was a humorous fellow ___ (A).

Petrushka first came to life, so to speak, sometime in the 18th century during Empress Anna Ioannovnas reign. In the Empress’s court was a man named Pietro-Mira Pedrillo, of Italian descent, ___ (B). It was this mans character and style that became the basis for Petrushka. In fact, the name Petrushka is a diminutive form of the name Pyotr (Peter, or Pietro in Italian).

In the beginning, Petrushka was intended for an adult audience. The plots of the puppets theatrical plays were about a variety of common, meaningful occurrences in a Russians life: a visit to a medical practitioner, learning military service, or a marriage ceremony, to name a few. The plots employed the use of interactive humour ___ (C).

Over time, puppet theatre moved away from adult-themed entertainment and towards childrens fare. Because of this, some of the long-running and less savoury characters had to be retired. Still, the humour of the shows was considered sharp-witted enough ___ (D).

An interesting aspect of Petrushka, as with other puppet shows, is his unusual voice, made to sound like a funny whistle, or kazoo. This would add a buzzing sound to the character’s speech, ___ (E). Mr Punch of Punch and Judy shows in the UK is one character with a similar voice.
