Waldo Sullivan Lanchester (1897–1978) was a puppeteer who founded the Lanchester Marionettes (1935-1962), a puppet theatre that was based in Malvern, and later in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote a book on the revival of puppeteering and commissioned George Bernard Shaw to write his last completed play ''Shakes versus Shav'' in 1949. In 1952, Donald W. Seager wrote that "Waldo Lanchester has consistently been associated with all that is best in the puppet theatre."〔Donald W. Seager, ''Marionettes'', Studio Publications, 1952, p.7.〕 Archibald Henderson called him "England's greatest puppetmaster."〔Archibald Henderson, ''George Bernard Shaw: Man of the Century'', Appleton-Century-Crofts, New York, 1956, p.720.〕 ==Early life== Lanchester was the son of James "Shamus" Sullivan (1872–1945) and Edithe "Biddy" Lanchester (1871–1966). His sister was the actress Elsa Lanchester.〔Henryk Jurkowski, Thiéri Foulc, ''Encyclopédie mondiale des arts de la marionnett'', Entretemps, 2009, p.422.〕 Two of the earliest puppets he created were named "Baldo and Belsa", the pet names of himself and his sister Elsa. The family were considered Bohemian, and refused to legalise their union in any conventional way to satisfy the era's conservative society.
