MIKRON Theatre Company’s next port of call could not be more appropriate.

The Marsden- based company has been on tour all summer with two new shows.

And tomorrow the company will stage an invitation-only performance of Fair Trade in the Elland warehouse of Suma, a food-based co-operative.

Staff, customers, suppliers and invited guests have been invited to the show and they will also be able to sample some of the food and drink range marketed by Suma.

And to celebrate Suma's association with produce growers offshore there will be a presentation of sitar playing during the interval by acknowledged Indian master musician Avtar Singh Lota.

Fair Trade looks at the foundation and success of The Co-op from its stormy beginnings in 1844.

It has been playing to sell-outhouses across the UK during the company’s annual summer tour.

The company’s general manager, Peter Toon, said: "While collecting material for and writing Fair Trade we began to appreciate just what those early Co-operative pioneers were trying to achieve in bringing affordable foodstuffs to poorer people in very troubled times.

“Suma are a classic 20th-century example of a co-operative created and trading under similar ethical rules as the original Co-op.’’

Meanwhile, for those not lucky enough to be invited to the Elland show there’s a public performance of Fair Trade at Hepworth Village Hall at 7.30pm tomorrow.
