A touring theatre company renowned for its quirky and accessible approach is to perform its latest production at Gilroy Road Community Allotments in West Kirby.
Operation Beach Hut is packed with toe-tapping tunes and nostalgic charm and will be performed on Friday 4 July from 7 – 9pm.
The company says it will whisk audiences away to the golden sands of Fiddling-On-Sea, where the annual Best Beach Hut competition is about to get competitive.
With a cast of just four actor-musicians, the play follows Holly, a stressed-out city dweller seeking solace by the sea.
As the competition draws closer, the history of the seaside floats to the surface, washing up a host of characters and stories from centuries gone by. It doesn’t take Holly long to realise there is far more at stake than just a prize for best beach hut.
Mikron say it is “a fun, feel-good experience for all ages…giving audiences a chance to escape and enjoy a slice of seaside nostalgia”.
The performance has integrated audio description, which means blind and visually impaired audience members can enjoy the show without the need for headsets.
No tickets are needed – just turn up and a ‘pay what you feel’ collection will take place at the end of the show.
Mikron’s Artistic Director Marianne McNamara said: “We’re incredibly excited to bring ‘Operation Beach Hut’ to audiences across the country.
“This production is a celebration of British seaside culture, filled with heartwarming stories, catchy tunes, and plenty of laughter. We are excited that we have integrated audio description at every performance.”
