The Mikron Theatre Company was founded in 1972 to take theatre to audiences outside the perceived notion of theatre, to non-theatre goers who have previously found the economic, cultural or geographical hurdles posed by theatre centres virtually insurmountable. We aim, through our work, to heighten the general awareness of the importance of our Waterways for both leisure and commerce. Our productions are original and tackle a wide range of themes from the history of canals to various socio-political issues, both historical and contemporary, and often with a local theme.
Productions are always entertaining and accessible, yet informative and thought provoking.
By Mike Lucas and Jim Woodland Judy lives in the city. Pete lives in the country. They decide to meet and that's where their problems begin as they embark on their nightmare journeys. This lively, rumbustious show continiues to have relevance with the increasing threats to real ale, proper pubs, particualrly in rural areas and small breweries with the monopolist industries trying to restrict choice and individuality. The Mikron Theatre Company returns this year with an exciting new production for 2000.
