Star of radio, T.V. and school assemblies, is coming back to the East Riding Theatre with a clutch of new verses a few older favourites and a cardboard camel with a moving jaw.
The biscuits in the show derived from a phrase used by Romantic Poet, John Keats:
“a scarcity of biscuit” – not the sort of phrase or spelling you expect from a romantic poet.
The show delves into the more eccentric side of Keats, alongside everyday goings-on in the Hegley homes of now and yesteryear. Includes 7 drawings of elephants, myths discos, daleks, optional community singing and the search for a sense of self-worth. Designed more for adults, but suitable for the odd nin-year-old, The show won a ‘Lustrum Award’ at the Edinburgh Festival 2022, even though there are no biscuits.
