Touring from October 2019 to July 2020…
Everyone knows Flo’s café. It hasn’t changed in years. It’s no tea at the Ritz, in fact it’s a little bit shabby. But the kettle’s always boiling and Flo is ready with a welcoming smile. Only problem is, where are the customers! All visiting those fancy new coffee bistros, no doubt.
All seems doomed for Flo until one cold windy day a strange old chap called Henry Moon blows through the doors of the café. Bringing his coat of many pockets, some rose tinted glasses and lots of imagination, this strange little man could be the answer to Flo’s problems.
