Enthusiasts of genuine tragedy and celebrity intrigue, gird your mental loins for an authentic tale of unbelievable hardship and epic catastrophe! This wholly true and accurate account details the extraordinary lives of Evelyn and Evelyn, a darling but unfortunate pair of conjoined twins who brave extreme circumstances of calamity and adversity, such as: the bizarre and bloody night of their birth and subsequent orphaning; their early years on a chicken farm; shocking encounters with depraved gentlemen; life in the circus; the terrible fates of their dearest friends; and concluding with the sisters’ rise to international fame via the internet, as told with astounding eloquence by musicians Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley, and documented in gorgeous detail by the artist Cynthia von Buhler.
For this special run at The Assembly George Square, the renowned
Evelyn twins will demonstrate their astonishing song-writing skills
while relating the tragic story of their lives. The sisters will
perform selections from their acclaimed eponymous 2010 album while
accompanying themselves on guitar, piano, accordion, drums, ukulele
and kazoo. The performances will also showcase the sisters' talents
as puppeteers, and will amaze audiences as the twins rely on their
powers of divination to answer questions from the Chalice of
Knowledge.
