WHO MOURNS FOR BOB THE GOON? Joshua Young and Lucia Bellini
About This Show
Who Mourns for Bob the Goon? is a new play about a man that believes he’s the obscure character ‘Bob the Goon,’ a loyal Joker henchman from the Batman comics. The audience follows Bob as he attends a special therapy group for individuals who all think they are, or were, third tier comic book characters. Bob starts to unravel after a new woman is admitted into the group who believes she is from an anime, not a comic.
The characters explore their past as the play switches from their realistic lives and settings to the fantastical comic book realms they think they inhabit.
