Synopsis:
Not exactly the Gingerbread Man story we know “Run, run as fast as you can / You can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man…” This version (story, lyrics and music) was written by David Wood (http://www.davidwood.org.uk/). The story is set on a kitchen dresser. Herr von Cuckoo – the bird inside the cuckoo clock – cannot cuckoo properly because of a sore throat, and faces the threat of being thrown into the Dustbin. Salt, Pepper and the Gingerbread Man (just baked that day) try to help him by taking honey from the cranky and ill-tempered Old Bag, while contending with a hungry “ruthless” mouse called Sleek. But something happens to Herr von Cuckoo…
