Plain Bob
Noisy Oyster (UK)
Plain Bob is an innocent and gentle show with no words, performed with mime, music, and sound effects. As the audience watch, Bob's world is created under an umbrella from suitcases and a raincoat. Audience members are then invited onto the stage to help Bob with his simple tasks.
Plain Bob was the winner of The Best Street Show award and nominated for Best Children's Show at The World Puppet Carnival in Indonesia. Plain Bob has also been performed in Czech Republic, Denmark, Austria, Spain, Romania, Sarajevo, Colombia, Mexico, South Korea, Vietnam and Thailand. We are very excited welcome this wonderful production to Hvammstangi.

".. real spirit of British charm ... Nik Palmer has the sense and a good feeling for his public, especially for children, to become a part of the story and after the performance you will dance in sing in the rain." ( Cordula Nossek, Internationale Puppentheatertage Mistelbach, Austria.)
