Big Bad Mouse (1974 tour) - repro

Philip King and Falkland Cary’s legendary British slapstick farce 'Big Bad Mouse' completed a celebrated 1974 national touring company engagement across North America. Conceived as a highly traditional, broad drawing-room comedy set inside a dreary order-processing office, the plot tracks an unremarkable, submissive clerk who becomes an overnight center of attention when he is mistakenly accused of a minor scandalous flirtation. This production became an international commercial phenomenon due to its stars, Jimmy Edwards and Eric Sykes, completely hijacking the script to execute rapid-fire physical comedy routines.
