Mikron Theatre Company began when Mike Lucas, Sarah Cameron and Ron Legge took a show to the Edinburgh festival in 1963. Mikron was named after MIK*e, *RON and Sarah Came*RON*. Mikron is the Greek word for small.
Life as part of the Mikron team is a lot of fun and a lot of hard work.
Small we were and small, in the good sense of the word, we still are.
