See Mikron in London in 2013
We look forward to welcoming Mikron Theatre back to the museum on 8th and 9th July 2013. 2013 will be Mikron's 42nd year of touring the canals, bringing the magic of live theatre to new audiences.
The shows for 2013 are Beyond the Veil (Monday) and Don't Shoot the Messenger (Tuesday)
There will be a cash bar available for interval drinks and pre-show drinks. Ice creams are available from the museum shop. Hot drinks are available from a machine. The museum will open an hour before the performance begins. The performance begins at 1945 on both days.
Mikron's shows are lively, entertaining, musical, funny, and tackle serious historical themes. It is a close-up theatrical experience in the interesting surroundings of the London Canal Museum.
For three months the actors, who double up as the crew, the stage hands, and technicians, live aboard the narrowboat Tysley as they travel from venue to venue. The cast differs from year to year. The boat will be moored behind the museum.

Beyond the Veil, 8th July
Dark deeds in Thistledale… DCI Mark Starkey thinks he's got a quiet patch in sleepy Thistledale, but all that is about to change dramatically when there's a sudden, unnatural death on the local allotment…… The grisly discovery down by the beehives is only the beginning for Detective Starkey. To unmask the murderer he must first uncover an altogether less savoury side of life in Thistledale; the bitter grudges, thwarted passions and murky pasts…… And then there are the bees… The life of the honeybee might be described as one of great sweetness and harmony, punctuated by sudden, desperate, acts of violence. The same could be said for Thistledale. Detective Starkey soon realises that the more he knows about bees, the closer he gets to the killer!
Don't Shoot The Messenger, 9th July
When a gun toting hoodlum holds up a village post office, the Postmasters want justice...of the restorative kind...by any means necessary. But can a comical journey through five centuries of postal history rehabilitate the rascally rogue? And what of the Postmasters' own motives - a noble act of public service or the desperation of the doomed? Will they get closure or just get closed? A story of deliveries and deliverance.
