Bob Downe - World War Bob

By Mark Trevorrow and Bill Harding (playwright & writer of the original Norman Gunston Show) Musical Direction by John Thorn.

Paying tribute to the troop shows of yesteryear Bob Downe and friends explore the role of popular song in wartime - for morale, diversion and propaganda.

A knockabout blend of troop show, revue and music hall favourites featuring songs and medleys such as It’s a Long Way to Tipperary, Pack Up Your Troubles, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Give Peace a Chance and War (What is it Good For?).

World War Bob will be a fast paced romp that includes shadow-play, rear projection, comic monologues and audience participation.

Bob’s the Bomb!

You’ll come for the songs - and stay for the duration.
