12th May 7.30 Grampound Hall. THE MINISTRY OF BISCUITS! Superb national touring comedy.....Stop! Think before you eat that biscuit! Is it in any way fancy? If so, then you are a criminal! London, 1948 – The Ministry of Biscuits casts its sinister shadow over every tea-time and 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 designs a biscuit to “shake confectionery to its very foundations,” his world – and the ministry – are turned upside down. Tickets £9/£7/£25 (family 4) from CRBO online, Grampound store or 01726 883874
