Description

<p>Drawing on their mutual love for silent films, vintage vaudeville and stage magic, Geoff Sobelle and Trey Lyford created bowlers and rolled it around the world.</p> <p>In the tradition of Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton and Samuel Beckett, all wear bowlers is brimming with hilarious entertainment. These clowns may come from the era of silent films, but they’ve left a deafening trail of laughter across Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States. See what happens when they tumble out of their movie and into a wacky world without gravity. It’s an uproarious romp, a holiday treat that opens on the day after Thanksgiving and runs until Christmas Eve.</p>
