A rollicking tale about a very dramatic bicycle theft
Synopsis
Rolling! Bonkel Theatre’s Touring Bike Show is a tragicomedy about a late-night bicycle theft. Robert steps out into the night ready to ride home when he chances upon thieves in the very act of stealing his beloved bike! And so the drama unfolds. Puppets, comedy, plot twists, and toe-tapping songs come together to tell this tale from the point of view of all the characters involved.
