Lost at Sea with Puddles and Sunny

Jeremy Wade uses a politically charged form of queer science fiction to see through the complicated now. In his show, Lost at Sea with Puddles and Sunny he, together with the music of Quentin Tolimieri, portrays a broken scrappy one-eyed bird of a cabaret singer named Puddles the Pelican who lives on a Cruise Ship at the end of time. A survivor of the Deep Horizon Oil Spill, Puddles the Pelican sings, squawks, moans and tells stories of love and loss to keep the cruise ship passengers awake as they sail towards a howl, blind, eternal and empty on a sea that is no longer blue but a rusted dark orange. Choking on bits of tar, flailing all fantastic Puddles quacks: “Once a glorious bird, now covered in oil, which one of you Bitches has a match?”
