Live Theatre - Mikron

Yesterday I was privileged to be at the Waterways Festival in Burton-on-Trent and whilst there saw a performance by the Mikron Theatre Company. The performance yesterday dealt with the creation of the very first inland waterway (canal), the Bridgewater, and the politics, pressures and characters involved ('Hell and High Water'). Today they will be doing 'Beer Street' which is about exactly what you might think it is about!

If you have an interest in the industrial revolution, inland waterways or the history of this country's development then I cannot recommend Mikron too highly. If you just want to see live theatre from a small company (only four) which brings together theatre and music, can I suggest that you take a look at their website.

And if you're near Burton, why not have a visit - a great show with lots of entertainment, boats (of course) and more besides (Boater Christian Fellowship doing morning worship today as well!).
