Audience feedback

CHRISTMAS BAKING TIME played at Lyric Hammersmith during Christmas 2009.

Join Baker Bun and Baker Bap in the Oily Cart Bakery whilst they wait for their bread to bake. The two bakers invite the audience to sift through magical floury snow storms, meet mischievous doughy characters and to follow the adventures of the Little Loaf and the Yeasty Beasty.

At the end of the show each member of the audience receives a freshly baked mini Christmas bun to take home with them.

CHRISTMAS BAKING TIME is based on BAKING TIME, originally created in collaboration with Carousel Players from Canada in 2003.
