Mikron Touring Theatre Company will be staging a free performance of their new show, ‘Losing the Plot’ at Scarcroft allotments at 7pm on Thursday 17th of May.
The producer, Peter Toon, is originally from York and is pleased to be bringing his unique theatre company to the City.
Mikron already have 60 venues booked for the 'Losing the Plot' tour, from Yorkshire down to Oxford and London. But Scarcroft will be your nearest venue so don't miss this chance to see this great show.
The performance will start at 7pm. There are 40 seats available, or you can bring your own folding chairs if you don't have far to come.
If you are not bringing your own chairs, arrive early to be sure of a seat.
If the weather is less than summery, fear not - there will be gazebos aplenty to keep off any showers.
You can bring a picnic for the intermission, but soft drinks and simple snacks will be available on site for very reasonable prices.
As well as refreshments, there will also be "facilities" on site, for your enjoyment and relief at intermission time.
There is no admission charge for the performance. However, the company will make a collection after the show so bring some change to show your appreciation.
There will be a 35 page full colour programme for sale, with play synopsis, lyrics of all the songs, and a quiz.
You may already have seen a poster on the notice board of your local allotment site, but meanwhile there’s a taste of the play here:

Losing the Plot is a play about Love, Life and Allotments.
The gardeners of Thistledale Allotments are a rag-bag bunch of diggers and dreamers. Strong personalities frequently clash over the best treatment for mealy bugs, and the annual 'Heaviest and Longest' competition is always a time when old feuds and new flirtations threaten to undermine the fragile peace.
Then Harvey from the Council pays them a visit and they realise that they must pull together, or forfeit their precious plot forever. But can they agree on a strategy? How will they convince Harvey of the vital role allotments have played in the life of the nation for centuries? What will they do when things inevitably get completely out of hand?
Told with a rollicking mix of old music hall tunes and brand new songs, Losing The Plot is a story of love - between people and the land; between people and people; and between people and their giant vegetables.
