John Keats met a woman in Ireland, being carried in a kind of mobile kennel. The romantic poet observed that she seemed to be suffering from a scarcity of biscuit. The new show from comedian, poet and folk musician, John Hegley.
The feats of John Keats are accompanied by Hegley’s own home-life, travels and attendance at the fourth-form disco, in the oversized suit borrowed from his brother René Marcel. Some mandolin playing, myths, moths, possibly French baroque dancing (for a few).
This is the touring version of the Edinburgh Fringe show, which went down nicely and WITH 50% EXTRA.
“Curiously never mentions the Dalek on the TV, but whichever bits you get it’s lovely stories, music, poetry and silliness.”
★★★★ British Theatre Review
“This show proves he’s as good as ever.”
★★★★ Entertainment Now
N.B. The show is an hour and a half long and is only partly biscuit-based. Devised for adults but not unsuitable for the odd nine-year-old. It should also be noted that human biscuits appear only in narrative form. Those presented physically are dog biscuits, and no attempt should be made to ‘try’ them.
