Adelaide Fringe. The Lark at Gluttony. 22 February - 16 March, 2025
Railway Bob was a celebrity dog that rode the railways of Australia in the late nineteenth century. Keith Preston and Deborah Baldassi bring to life the sometimes true, sometimes rumoured tales of a dog initially sent to catch rabbits but ended up being a VIP passenger across colonial South Australia.
Returning to the Fringe after its debut last year, the story of ‘Bob the driver’s dog’ has toured Australia with its collection of stories, songs – and of course, Bob, brought to life in a puppet expertly guided by bunraku puppeteer Uma Preston.
