Mikron Theatre are returning in 2027 after their hugely popular performances of Hush Hush at the last festival, and Wensleydale Whey in 2026.

A Dirty Fight for Clean Water

Flushed will bring their signature blend of original songs and social commentary to explore the politics of public plumbing.

Kate, Richard, and Amy couldn’t be more different. From a tie-dye wearing hippy, to an ex-navy canoeist, they span the political spectrum. But one thing they all agree on; raw sewage probably shouldn’t be destroying our natural beauty spots. So, what happens when this ragtag gang join together to try and save a river they love?

From the historic Great Stink in 1858, to ‘Cawkshire Water’ protestors kicking up a stink in 2027, Flushed pulls no punches about an industry that sees money and effluent racing down the drain.

This performance will take place on the village green outside the marquee in the centre of Broadway.

Integrated Audio Description: Every performance has integrated audio description, which means that they have worked hard to make the play enjoyable and interesting to listen to for all audiences without the need for headsets.

Note:

• This is a ‘Rain or Shine’ performance that will be taking place outside on the village green if the weather is fine. If the weather is challenging, it will take place in our large marquee on the village green.
• Bring camping chairs and dress warm even on a hot day as temperatures dip later on, so do bring blankets and a warm coat.
• Dogs are not permitted

Tickets: £22  will go on sale at 10am on 15th March and 1 week earlier to benefactors of the festival who qualify for priority booking.
