Lachlan Werner: Voices Of Evil
Following a sold out, critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe and London's Soho Theatre the award-winning poof prince of puppets, Lachlan Werner is taking his horrifying and hilarious debut show on a tour of the UK this summer.
Voices Of Evil is a cartoonish hour where we meet Brew (a small squishy, ego-centric witch puppet) and her friend, Lachy (a 'poof', apparently a virgin and for some reason dressed like a choir boy). Brew hatches a plan to sacrifice Lachy, to help with his self esteem. But when Brew's gimmicks release a sinister entity with a lust for destruction, the innocent Lachy will never be the same.
Excited to be hitting the road for their first tour Lachy said: "The response to the show this last year has been ridiculous, I don't think I knew how many people would make so much noise for a queer horror puppet show. Director Laurie Luxe and I are so proud of it and I can't wait to bring the show to so many new places" before Brew added: "The UK is a tiny Island but this is one step closer to a demonic world domination!!"
In one of comedy's freshest feats, Lachlan seamlessly juggles innovative voice tricks, clowning and meta-ventriloquism to play three characters simultaneously, creating something akin to a demon love-child of The Muppets and The Exorcist. This joyful, queer subversion of the horror genre and traditional ventriloquism, thrills audiences as they join Lachy and Brew for their sexy, surprising, rebellious and ridiculous occult ritual. Viewers beware - demonic voices appear to come from every corner and anyone could get puppeteered by evil.
