Alistair Fullarton (1950-1988)[1] was a British puppeteer who was considered a pioneer of theater in the 1960s and 1970s. He worked with Henson in London on Creature Shop productions like Labyrinth and The StoryTeller. He also performed on the British television shows Spitting Image, Doctor Who, and the children's series Button Moon.
Upon his death, he left his collection of books to the Puppet Centre Trust's library. He had helped to set up the "Friends of the Hackney Empire Theatre," and after his passing, his Spitting Image colleagues remained involved with fundraising for the Hackney Empire's refurbishment.
