Synopsis: | Out of a stage full of rubbish, a space is cleared and some puppets made from newspaper emerge and begin to act together. A book is brought out and we begin the story of one of the puppets, Bobby's Story, which we keep returning to throughout the show. This is a rather thin, simplistic and depressing journey from domestic abuse and bullying as a child to prison and contemplation of suicide as an adult. Another recurring tale is the interesting but underdeveloped tale of Sebastian, who finds some old photographs in a skip and analyses the places and people in them to try to trace their owners. Between these stories are scenes, stories, poems and rap numbers that look at various aspects of modern life, but there is a running theme of domestic violence and despair running through a lot of the material. | |||||
