1898, London. Someone is trying to steal Professor Ebenezer Brain Teaser's latest invention, an incredible calculating machine. Will Jeremiah Bloodhound, probably Britain's worst Private Detective, add two and two together? Why are 'Circus Numero' the 'prime' suspects? And why are they 'counting' on Kitty Beagle to 'calculate' who is Mr One? By using number patterns, mental calculations and deduction, help 'Bloodhound and Beagle' unravel this mathematical mystery.
 

The Calculating Mr. One is a musical comedy that explores the importance of mathematics and problem solving in everyday life and is based on the National Curriculum for Maths and the Numeracy Targets. It’s written for a Key Stage 2 audience and is also interactive with the audience required to solve mathematical problems in order for play to progress.
