Mikron Theatre, one of the country’s most versatile and unusual touring theatre companies, is delighted to announce that it will be touring Twitchers, Poppy Hollman’s brand new play with original live music, celebrating all things birds, birders and the RSPB.

On Saturday 22nd July at 7pm, playwright Poppy Hollman will be bringing her flock to Bath. Taking place at Bloomfield Road Allotments (Bear Flat, Bath, BA2 2AB), “Twitchers” is the second play coming from Hollman for Mikron. There’s no need to book seats in advance; tickets are not sold prior to the event. Instead, a ‘pay what you feel’ collection will be taken after the show.

Audiences will be flying to Mikron’s 51st season of touring. You’ll be able to Nest(le) down with Mikron in this glide through birdwatching history, feathered with birdsong and laughter. You’ll be giggling from heron in and you won’t ‘egret coming!

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 feature Eddie Ahrens, Hannah Baker, and Rachel Hammond .

Twitchers is directed by Mikron Theatre Company’s Artistic Director Marianne McNamara, designed by Celia Perkins, with music composed by Amal El-Sawad and directed and arranged by Rebekah Hughes.
