Oh Bobby! - an experimental Christmas pantomime

Tom Service presents Oh Bobby! - a brand new, experimental Christmas pantomime composed by Adam de la Cour, performed by a crack troupe of new music practitioners, including Neil Luck, Lori Lixenberg, Alwynne Pritchard and more. This is an unashamedly absurd take on a traditional panto, it will appeal to fans of the experimental and those who revel in the ridiculous. Taking the form of a radio play, and recorded live before a studio audience, the show is interactive, with the audience performing their part by responding to the live action (you know, just like a panto).
The plot revolves around the misadventures of such characters as Tobbin, a Virtual Reality obsessed Cockney urchin; Windows Twanky (an AI Dame); and Blotto the sock puppet, as they traverse the pitfalls and pumice stones of the year 2035!
Adam de la Cour is a London-based composer, performer and film-maker, well-known on the experimental scene. His music sometimes resembles genres such as contemporary classical, experimental, free improvisation, heavy metal and other 鈥榩opular鈥� styles. He has made short films for Cartoon Network's late night cable broadcasting block, Adult Swim, and has appeared on Radio 3 and 大象传媒 Radio 6 Music performing live carpentry with Neil Luck. He is part of ARCO Collective and a co-founder of squib-box.
