Puphedz - The Warped And Splintered Edition

The Warped And Splintered Edition

Welcome to the Puphedz theatre of the macabre. A zany troupe of wooden puppet actors, they journey forth in their ramshackle theatre-on-wheels bringing you outrageous versions of classic tales of terror.

In this first outing, they perform a take on Edgar Allan Poe´s The Tell-Tale Heart. It is the story of a young man driven to madness by his unnatural and torturous obsession with the deformed eye of the old man with whom he lives. Of course, it shouldn´t be assumed that they live together for any other reason than saving rent money. Be warned, the Puphedz are students of the Grand Guignol school of theatre. A healthy amount of sappy puppet blood drips between the laughter.

The principle performers in this installment are Woodrow J. Larchbottom, III, who plays the tormented young man: Peter Feidwood, who provides a suitably cantankerous performance as the old man: Douglas "Chip" Fir, lending his gluttonous talents to Policeman #1, and Leif Applebaum, setting the stage afire with his portrayal of vacuous Policeman #2.

So, keep a weather eye out for the approach of the Puphedz cart. When you see the snaggletoothed smile of the cart puller, you´ll know you´re in for a fun time with the Puphedz performers.
