Great writers finger puppet theater

What would Virginia Woolf, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Leo Tolstoy say to each other if they were invited to the same literary cocktail party and fell into conversation? Or, what would they say to your friends? or about them? With this set of finger puppets, you and your friends can be playwright, actor, or director in dramas starring great writers.
Each set of four finger puppets comes in a box that easily converts to a puppet theatre, and includes a playbill with biographical information about each character, and suggestions for how to get the most from your finger puppet set.

I absolutely love it! This is a brilliant, inspired and completely surreal idea.
But does anyone think that your average eight-year-old playing with these puppets will actually end up with a different script than if they were playing with Punch & Judy, Fran & Ollie, or any other outdated puppets I could mention?
Heck, I’m not even sure that I would end up with a different script.
