At the end of June 2013 the Mikron Theatre Company made another welcome return to Blisworth. The Company tours England by narrow boat, mostly presenting plays at canal-side locations. The plays have a certain education content, as well as being entertaining. On this occasion about 100 of us assembled in the garden of the Old Rectory to learn all about bees and honey. It was a pleasant Sunday afternoon and we all enjoyed the First Act. Then came the Interval; the Heavens opened and the rain came down by the bucketful. After sheltering under umbrellas for the Interval, there was a discussion between cast and audience and we all decided to continue in the rain. Sadly one of the actors slipped on the wet grass and sprained her ankle badly and eventually the show was abandoned. So we all slithered down the bank onto the tow-path and headed hastily for home and the dry (fortunately nobody slid on across the tow-path and into the canal!). Two days later Mikron were performing their other play at Stoke Bruerne. This was about the history of the Post Office. Stoke Bruerne had erected a marque outside the Museum for the performance, not a drop of rain fell... is there no justice? However, we are happy to report that the injured actor was back on her feet and performing (although still hobbling slightly). Unfortunately Mikron do not have any more venues in this area on the current tour, but if you visiting “up north” there is still a chance to see them, The Mikron Theatre returns to Blisworth on Saturday 6 June 2015 The Old Rectory Garden at 7:00pm with: RAISING AGENTS The story of the WI
