Big Bad Mouse is a fabulous 1970s farce which originally starred Jimmy Edwards and Eric Sykes. In this hilarious new production, Sue Hodge takes the role of the no-nonsense biscuit factory owner Lady Chesapeake with Tommy Cannon starring as chief of the orders department Mr Price-Hargreaves and Bobby Ball as the eponymous mouse Bloome.
In the orders office of the Chunkibix Ltd biscuit factory, it is Mr Price-Hargreaves who gives the instructions and Mr Bloome who obeys them. Until that is, Mr Bloome is one day accused of chasing a young girl across the common making him the hero of every female in the office, not least Miss Spencer. So glorious is Bloome's transformation, in fact, that when the young person in question discovers she has made a mistake in her identification, Bloome is less than pleased and is determined to keep her quiet…
Big Bad Mouse is famous for its ad-libbing and anarchic fun, so prepare to be surprised as no two shows are ever the same! One thing is certain though – this is the best comedy you'll ever see. Don't miss out!
Big Bad Mouse is at the Grand Theatre, Blackpool from Monday 21st July to Saturday 26th July. Monday at 8pm. Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm with Thursday and Saturday matinees at 2pm. -- www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk
