## **GET READY TO MELT HERE: Scoop: A Wonderful Ice Cream World**

This summer, the immersive food pros at Bompas &amp; Parr will unveil their tribute to ice cream with *Scoop: A Wonderful Ice Cream World*. Housed in the British Museum of Food in King’s Cross, the show will be an interactive experience: guests will experience glow-in-the-dark ice cream, 60,000-year-old glacial ice and the world's first hundreds and thousands fountain. There’ll also be a room just for adults that tells the dark side of ice cream in Scotland – we’re intrigued…

## **CHECK OUT A NEW PLAY: Genesis Inc**

Hampstead Theatre is showing the world premiere of Jemma Kennedy’s blisteringly entertaining play Genesis Inc. Directed by Laurie Sansom, this is a multifaceted tale of the final frontier of 21st-century capitalism: the privatisation of human reproduction. This richly imaginative, topical, and explosively funny new comedy takes a closer look at the lengths to which people will go to defy biology – and at the moral compass of an industry that trades on fear and hope. Harry Enfield stars.

After the show, visitors will be able to sample a perfectly balanced Campari G&amp;T. We can’t think of anything more summery.
