- Bob, the Man on the Moon
-
A Sixth Sense and Travelling Light Theatre Company co-production. We will be re-touring the performance to national arts venues and nursery and primary schools in Swindon and Bristol between September - December 2011. Bob has a very special job; he looks after the moon. He vacuums moondust out of craters and entertains the tourists. He knows almost everything there is to know about the moon. But there's one thing he's blissfully unaware of... ALIENS! The inspiration for the show was Simon Bartram's award-winning book Man on the Moon (a day in the life of Bob). We were delighted when Simon brought his family to see the show at York Theatre Royal on its last tour- and loved it.
