Two idiots with big dreams share new work in progress. Join Lachlan Werner and Laurie Luxe for a night of darkness and stupidity.
WONDERTWUNK:
The Twunk: Body of a Hunk, Head of a Twink
The strength of a hundred Olympians. The face of an angel.
Behind this curtain lies a brand new model of manhood for a modern age.
Lachlan Werner - award-winning "twink"★★★★ (Guardian) and "the funniest new ventriloquist on the block" ★★★★ (Telegraph) - workshops a brand new hour of Grand Guignol stupidity - a feat of brute strength, raw muscle and minimal lip movement.
Enter Brad News' Circus, a place of impossible talent and wonders beyond belief.
Jack Hammer is the strongest boy in the world. He can lift a ten tonne truck and crush the strongest steel.
Just don't get too close.
His management says you can look, but you can't touch.
Following his 5 star, cult-hit horror debut, Voices Of Evil, Lachlan Werner promises to build a super strong genre-bending tale of stunts, sea-lions, sci-fi and secrets…
★★★★ ‘Twink… Hilarious. Extraordinary’ (Guardian)
★★★★★ ‘Joyously meta-theatrical, the definitive queer puppet show’ (Lost In Theatreland)

Image description:
Jack Hammer, a circus strong boy, with curled blonde hair in a 1920s style, wearing a blue singlet with white feather shoulders and blue sequined abs, poses with one arm up showing his muscles and the other hand on his hip.
Laurie Luxe is dressed as a ragged orphan. Her ginger hair is tied in two bunches and she looks sad with dirt on her face, holding her heart.
