Real buzz for Mikron’s play at Leamington allotments site

The Yorkshire-based Mikron Theatre Company spend their summer touring England’s canals and waterways stopping at village halls, pubs, allotments and other venues to out on their productions along the way.

This year’s work, Beyond the Veil, tells the tale of a murder on the allotment in the sleepy Thistledale and the police investigation which uncovers a link between the crime and beekeeping in the village.

Jim Layton, chairman of St Mary’s Allotments, said: “Mikron came last year and we had an audience of about 130 people.

“Four incredibly professional actors arrived by barge and they were very talented.

“They combined comedy, music and gardening-related themes and the show was called Losing the Plot which was about allotments being taken away by a local authority.

“The show is free but donations are welcomed after the performance.”

Those attending are asked to use the carpark nearby and walk to the allotments in Radford Road.

If there is rain the play will take place at the Sydni Centre in Cottage Square, Sydenham.

The show starts at 7pm.
