Shadow Play is popular art of shouthern Thailand.Dried animal hide is carved into drama figures like a hermit,a lord,a lead actor,a lead actress,a gaint,and a clown.The figures are held up behind a lighted screen to create shadows on it.Nai Nang or puppeteer will sing verses or narrate perfomance.He must have exceptional reflaxes and be able to narrate the whole story by himself.Musical intruments used are the same as for Nora with perhaps So U and So Duang(stringed instruments) added in.
