"I came as the Baker on this escapade,
I knead the dough,but I can't look after the bread,
The Banker does it instead,
And although I never feel afraid,
Somehow I know
It could be the single worst mistake I've ever made,
To come as the Baker on this escapade."

Mike Batt's The Hunting of The Snark opened in London's Prince Edward Theatre on 24th October 1991. It sadly closed just 7 short weeks later, having been slammed by the critics, on 14th December 1991.
