London. Just before elevenses. The Ministry of Biscuits casts its sinister shadow over every tea-time and coffee break in the land. Established to “control biscuits, and to control the idea of biscuits,” it prohibits decadent sweetmeats, such as the Gypsy Cream. But when Cedric Hobson, a junior designer, falls in love and designs a biscuit to “shake confectionery to its very foundations,” his world – and the ministry – are turned upside down…

The Ministry of Biscuits, the musical comedy I co-wrote with Brian Mitchell, will be coming to London for a short run in late January and early February. It’s the same production which was on tour all last year, performed by Brian, Amy Sutton, Murray Simon, and Dave Mounfield. And it’s a joy, so if you can, please go and see it!

It’s at the Barons Court Theatre, London, W14 9HR from Tuesday, 29th January to Sunday, 10th February 2019, at 7.30pm (with a Saturday Matinee at 2.30pm). Box office: 020 8932 4747, or book online here.
