MIKRON is a theatre company like no other. To begin with they tour for most of the year on board a vintage narrowboat, and secondly they put on their shows in places that other theatre companies wouldn't dream of; a play about growing-your-own shown in allotments, a play about bees performed next to hives, a play about food to audiences in fields and farm shops… and now… a play about fish and chips which will be shown at Aymestrey Village Hall on Friday, September 4.
Sir Caspian Delamere is a man on a mission, to find the finest Fish and Chips in Britain. He's narrowed it down to two seaside vendors - finalists for his Golden Fish-Fork award.
By coincidence The Pickled Egg and The Silver Darling are rival establishments run by twins, Roderick and Annette Whale. Unable to agree on the best way to cook this iconic dish, they went their separate ways years ago, and now they find their food and their philosophies in direct competition for the coveted prize.
Which portion will prevail? Rod's old fashioned, homely style? Or Nettie's high-tech twist on tradition? Their story is covered by journalist, Meriel Hacker, and she is after a scoop. So what will she do when she hooks a much bigger fish than she ever expected...?
One of Each is at Aymestrey Village Hall on Friday, September 4 at 7.30pm. To book, call 01568 709031 or go to mikron.org.uk
