Mikron Theatre Company tour 2023

The Mikron Theatre Company, now in its sixth decade of touring the waterways aboard its narrowboat Tyseley during the summer, is presenting two new shows this year.

A Force to be Reckoned With - Pioneering women in the police (F)

Fresh from Police training school, WPC Iris Armstrong joins forces with fellow WPC Ruby Roberts. They’re an unlikely partnership, called to any case involving women and children, from troublesome teens to fraudulent fortune tellers.

Twitchers - Birds, birders and the RSPB (T)

Springwatch is coming to RSPB Shrikewing nature reserve. Jess, the Reserve Warden, can’t wait to show the world this special place, with its amazing wildlife and incredible birds. But Shrikewing is not an island. From pollution and vandals to an overzealous mayor, Jess is starting to feel that protecting birds from human interference might just be impossible.
