Mikron Theatre Company

It's 1914. British entertainment is down on its uppers. Actor-manager Lena Ashwell (OBE) has a theatre but no audience.

So she assembles a motley bunch of 'turns' and books a tour with a difference.

For her Troupers won't tread the boards of Old Blighty but the muddy, bloody fields of France.

'Twice nightly, we're here all week, if we're here at all!'

In a little-told story of the Great War, TROUPERS brings to life the amazingly audacious Concerts At The Front – a hitherto unsung war effort that's full
of guts, gusto and greasepaint. Who better to present this story than modern-day troubadours, Mikron?
