A boy eats an ice lolly and freezes internally.
A lover cleans piss from his grandmother’s nice carpet.
Performer and world’s wettest foley artist Guy Woods presents Puddles and Amazons, a coming-of-age story about grief, male tenderness and fluids, told through storytelling and live audio mixing.
Whilst on a beach, eating an ice lolly, a boy is told that his mother is dead. In this moment, the boy freezes, indefinitely, sentencing him to a life of hot showers and steroid moisturising creams. A decade later, he falls in love, thaws, and makes a terrible terrible mess.
Making use of a loop pedal to craft a live soundscape from his own vocalisations, Woods fully envelops the audience in the senses of this young boy. A storytelling comedy written and performed by Guy Woods, directed by Rachel Flynn, and produced by Balenji Mwiche. Previously performed at The Tron Theatre’s Outside Eyes scratch night in 2023, Puddles and Amazons is a Queer parable of love and grief, with mild audience interaction.
