SUMMARY:Mikron Theatre Co. A Force to be Reckoned With – Pioneering women in the police
DESCRIPTION:\nWriter & Lyricist : Amanda Whittington\nComposer and Co-lyricist : Greg Last\nDirector : Gitika Buttoo\nMusic Director & Arranger : Dan McGlade\nSet & Costume Designer : Celia Perkin\nWith handbag, whistle and a key to the Police Box, WPC Iris Armstrong is ready for whatever the mean streets of a 1950s market town throws at her. Fresh from police training school, she prepares for her first day on the beat. The reality is very different. Stuck at the station, she soon finds her main jobs are typing and making brews. Iris joins forces with fellow WPC Ruby Roberts. They’re an unlikely partnership. A two-girl department, called to any case involving women and children, from troublesome teens to fraudulent fortune tellers.\nWhat starts as ‘women’s work’ soon becomes a specialist role. Iris finds she’s earning her place in a historic force to be reckoned with. Along the way, she discovers the Edwardian volunteers who came before her, a lineage of Suffragettes-turned-moral enforcers and the secrets that the police box hides.\nIn this arresting tale of law and order, join forces with Mikron ( https://mikron.org.uk/ ) as we investigate pioneering women in the police.\nWitness statements\n5***** “I always learn so much at a Mikron play, it ticks every box: laughter, love and learning and I can’t wait for the next one!”\nFairy Powered Productions\n4**** “Pacey, energetic and brilliantly performed – it’s a fun, thought provoking piece and another great production from Mikron”\nThe Yorkshire Post\n“Good-natured, enjoyable celebration of women in the British police force. Performed with infectious enthusiasm”\nThe Stage\n“Director Gitika Buttoo’s production is slick and seamless”\nThe Leeds Guide\n“Hannah Baker, Harvey Badger, Rachel Hammond and Eddie Ahrens remain as fabulous as they were when I saw Twitchers”\nOne Play More\n“Captured a century of change in true marvellous Mikron style…I loved the positivity of the piece, the sensational songs, fabulous set, brilliant costumes”\nYorkshire Times\n“I would highly recommend going to see this show, and I will certainly be keeping my eye our for their future productions”\nwhatsgoodtodo.com\n“Highly entertaining piece of touring theatre”\nNumber9Reviews\n“Once again, Mikron have provided a great evening’s entertainment, their versatility never fails to amaze me”\nTyke it to the Limit\nPhoto by Robling Photography\n\n\nDuration:\n\n90 mins (excluding a 15min interval)\n\n\n
