Big in Japan (or three Steves and a Bob) - One4Review

Bob Karper is the story teller in his one man play. He provides his own live musical accompaniment on keyboards and accordion. There is a back screen on which is projected photographs and film taken during his life since childhood to his current location in Japan. It is a curious mix, part autobiographical and biographical. Several stories are recounted on the theme of friendship, breaking up and coming together. The final story works best illustrating the recovery of friendship after a huge time gap. Along the way we are treated to glass of saki, or orange juice, and we receive a short Japanese lesson. Bob Karper’s style is soft and low key. It is intriguing trying to make sense of it all. ***
