This is the tale of Samuel the Baker, bread shape maker; of how he used his bread making and baking to outwit the King and Queen and so saved the people from hunger and disaster.
It is a tale of resourcefulness and courage, of war and peace,
of greed and generosity, of pigeon spies and bakers’ pies.
This gentle, funny and pertinent play will delight the eye and
provoke the imagination.
Discover Samuel at work in his kitchen – a place
where spoons turn into people, knives into soldiers and cupboards
into castles.
As the bread bakes in the oven so we bake you a story which is
warm and filling and nutritious! Samuel’s bread is food
for thought.
Written by Lizzie Allen and performed by Simon Hatfield. Guest
director Joyce Wren.
