 Thai Brides and Teacakes is a satirical commentary on the changing ethnic composition of modern Britain and is the latest example of this theatre company’s unique brand of ‘off the wall’ story telling.
It is four years to the day that bakery owners, Ma and Madeira were married in North Manchester’s first same sex civil partnership, and now they want a baby. After being unsuccessful in their attempt to adopt a Vietnamese orphan, their attentions have turned to potential sperm donors. Early candidates proved to be something of a let down until the drop-dead gorgeous, and highly charismatic politician, Richard “Dickie” Moseley sweeps into town. However, all is not how it appears ~ not just for the two prospective mums, but for the whole community, as Dickie’s extreme right-wing policies spell disaster.

Thai Brides and Teacakes isn’t a conventional theatre production. As with all MaD productions, it is multi-media ~ aimed at a wide audience ~ for people who might like to go to the match; or watch bands; or simply people who generally appreciate modern culture.
The production will feature music, as well as cameo performances from some of Manchester’s familiar faces, plus one or two surprise guests. See HERE for tickets. The official launch party for this new production will be held at Manchester's Comedy Store on Thursday 2nd September 5.30pm onwards. Free entrance ~ all welcome.
