Mikron Theatre is to tour Maeve Larkin’s new play about youth hostelling which will be performed in the UK’s Youth Hostels.
Following its touring productions of Pure and Canary Girls, the award-winning Yorkshire theatre company premières Best Foot Forward which will take audiences on a hike through the history of hostelling.
Something’s afoot at Pearling Manor and it isn’t just the walkers. The beautiful hostel, rich in YHA history, is lovely but falling apart. External forces are out to grab and turn it into a golf club. Cue Connie, first ever warden, with a heart as big as her rucksack.
It’s at St Helens Central Library and Birch Community Centre, Brighton Grove, Manchester on April 1; YHA Liverpool April 4; Oldham Library and Lifelong Learning Centre April 6; Marple Senior Citizen’s Hall, Stockport April 8; The Swan, The Square, Saddleworth April 11.
