Keats features quite strongly in the narrative of this show, and it is from him that the biscuit reference comes: he met a woman in Ireland being transported in some kind of kennel who the poet said seemed to be suffering from a "scarcity of biscuit".

The woman features in some of Hegley's poems—but it's a while before the biscuits reappear—but then the rest of the show is mostly autobiographical. He says the facts may not all be true facts, but they have a grain—or maybe a crumb—of truth.

Of course all this storytelling is interspersed with poems, some spoken and some sung, I assume by the negotiations between Hegley and his technician that there are variations between performances, but whichever bits you get, it's a lovely hour of stories, music, poetry and silliness, perfect for after lunch.
