‘on a lost lost day, was a lost lost street. Down the lost lost street was a lost lost house that seemed to have misplaced it's owner...'

All is not well at Number 92. Mrs Benjamin has disappeared, leaving her decaying house to fend for itself. So in an act of desperation, the house, determined to find its missing owner set off on a strange and enchanting journey like no other.

This intriguing tale follows the story of a wall, a floor and a chimney, a forgotten old lady and the memories that lie within. With an inventive blend of clowning, visual theatre and puppetry Maison Foo brings to life the imaginative topsy turvy world lurking behind the door of Number 92.

Produced by Spiel, toured in partnership with Dementia UK and supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Memoirs of a Biscuit Tin was a sell-out success at the Edinburgh Festival 2010

Critics called it:

‘Surprise hit of the (Edinburgh) Festival...Touching and beautifully crafted...a little show with a big heart.' **** Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

‘A superb production' **** The Mirror
