An interactive audience adventure under Bob's umbrella world. As the audience watches, the stage is set... A trolley, a suitcases, an umbrella, and a rain coat appear, before Bob continues with his tasks of the day.
"Rarely have I seen something so simple, yet put across with so much warmth, fun and good humour that it appealed equally to every single member of the audience, from tiny toddler to aged grandparent." - Sherrell Perkin, North Wall Arts Centre.
"If you like to get a real spirit of British charm you have to invite the performance "Plain Bob" for your festival. I like the way how he invited the public to participate. 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.
"Ingenious, full of joy, interactive, Plain Bob, Noisy Oyster's performance opened the sixth edition of the International Theatre Festival for Young Audience (Iasi, Romania, 5th-11th October 2013). Using an extensive range of means of expression, Plain Bob was a delightful show, tailored both for kids and adults! Enchanting!" Oltita Cintec, theatre critic, Artistic manager, Luceafarul Theatre, Iasi, Romania.
