Mikron Theatre are going back to the Eyot Centre on Friday 14 July with their brand-new play Twitchers commemorating all things birds, birders and the RSPB.
Mikron Theatre, among the nation’s most flexible and uncommon touring theatre business and this year they will be carrying out a brand name brand-new play by Poppy Hollman with initial live music.
You’ll have the ability to nest(le) down with Mikron in this flight through birdwatching history, feathered with birdsong and laughter. You’ll be laughing from heron in and you won’t ‘egret coming! Springwatch is coming to RSPB Shrikewing nature reserve. As we meet raucous rooks, booming bitterns and plenty of tits, we realise the birds of Shrikewing are its real stars. Can Jess take inspiration from the RSPB’s solid female creators and make use of its history of marketing to save them? Can she discover her own voice to raise a rallying cry for nature?
Playwright Poppy Hollman said: “It’s a joy to write for Mikron and I’m delighted to be part of their 51st year of touring. Twitchers’ is about the RSPB, Europe’s largest conservation charity, and their struggles to protect birds and wildlife since 1889. The play offers a fun swoop into the colourful world of birds and birdwatching. Our feathered friends are the real stars of the show; you’ll see them flirting, bickering and making their own indelible impression on the plot.”
The production’s cast of actor-musicians will include Eddie Ahrens (Monopoly Lifesized, Selladoor/Gamepath Entertainment), Hannah Baker (The 39 Steps, OVO Theatre), Harvey Badger (Spring Awakening, Stratford Circus Arts Centre), and Rachel Hammond (The True Adventures of Marian and Marian Hood, Barn Theatre and Swallows and Amazons, York Theatre Royal)
