Mikron History
Mikron was originally conceived after a waterways holiday by Mike Lucas, Sarah Lucas and Danny Schiller. "Let’s put professional theatre on the inland waterways of Britain!". Mikron is now famous for its national waterways tour, aboard the 1936 Grand Union Carrying Company narrowboat, Tyseley.
Tour booking and press was done by Sarah from the back cabin of the boat and, with a large bag of ten pence pieces, a stool and a local payphone, she would book and promote tours. Cast members used to research and co-write the shows, which were directed by Mike Lucas. Mike also performed for the company for many years.
Mike ran the company until 2005 when his role was split between Richard Povall (Artistic Director) and Peter Toon (General Manager).
