Mr Moore's Bizarre Secret Society
The secret fairytale of London comes to the stage...
The year is 1865. The young Leopold has been sent to live with his wretched Uncle Vernon in a Victorian London rife with poverty and cruel punishment. Meanwhile, the elderly Mr Moore has been kicked out of his home by debt collectors, left to a life of destitution on the street.
When Leopold and Mr Moore make a chance encounter, they discover a mysterious disused tearoom in the heart of London. As they bring the tearoom back to its former glory, they discover its secret past, one uniting the misfits and dreamers found in the City... and perhaps even Queen Victoria herself.
The two form their own 'Bizarre Secret Society', dedicated to serving wild and wonderful teas, only to find Vernon and the High Court threatening to close it down. Who will win the tea tournament to determine the rightful owner of the tearoom?
Mr Moore's Bizarre Secret Society combines a dash of Victorian charm with a pinch of Dickensian drama and a sprinkle of Lewis Carroll's magic. Alice in Wonderland meets A Christmas Carol in a story that will delight children and adults alike.
