A comedy journey through the life – and threatened death – of the postal service comes to Randwick Village Hall on Saturday September 7.
Don't Shoot the Messenger! is Mikron Theatre Company's new show celebrating the postal service, an institution on the brink of extinction.
An unsuspecting gunman gets more than he bargains for when he holds up a sleepy village post office. The tables are turned on him and the postmistress seizes the opportunity to educate.
Told by a company of four, but featuring a cast of dozens, this hilarious, mail coach, night train ride through the history of the postal service comes complete with original songs and live music and just a smattering of madcap tomfoolery.
Don't Shoot the Messenger! is at Randwick Village Hall at 7.30pm and tickets are £11, £9 concessions.
Mikron's second new show for 2013, Beyond the Veil, described as CSI meets Camberwick Green in a tale of sleuths and bees, is also being performed on Saturday September 7. The outdoor performance is at Rodborough Pavilion at 1pm. This lively show full of music, fun and facts about bees tells the tale of idyllic Thistledale allotments where the peace is shattered after a body is discovered. No need to buy a ticket in advance as a collection will be taken after the show. Call 01453 758138.
There will be shelter in case of wet weather. Take chairs, blankets and picnics.
