Barons Court Theatre Presents Musical Comedy The Ministry of Biscuits

---

And Richard Leigh's long running Magic Cavern continues on Sundays

Barons Court Theatre is brightening up these dreary winter days with a brand new musical comedy, The Ministry of Biscuits, running from Wednesday 30 January.

In Post-War London, the Ministry of Biscuits casts its sinister shadow over every elevenses 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 creates a biscuit to "shake confectionery to its very foundations" his world, and the ministry, are turned upside down.

40's British Light Music, Orwell’s 1984 and Ealing Comedy inspired this satirical musical by best-selling novelist Philip Reeve (whose Mortal Engines is now a major Peter Jackson movie) and award-winning playwright and composer Brian Mitchell (Big Daddy Vs. Giant Haystacks).

Starring Radio 4's David Mounfield (Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show), it comes to London following a sell-out 35-date national tour.

Tickets for The Ministry of Biscuits, which is suitable for people aged 15 and above, cost £14, or £10 concessions.

You can catch the show from 30 January till Saturday 2 February then from 6 February till Saturday 9 February at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available from the box office on 0208 932 4747 or online in advance from Ticketsource.

Richard Leigh opened at The Barons Court Theatre with The Magic Cavern in 2002. It has become London's long running theatrical magic show with over 1100 performances.
