Digging In

Work:: Digging In (S845544019)

It's 1984 and life is complicated for nine-year-old Gary Hargreaves. His mum is pregnant, his sister is a teenage pain in the neck and his dad is on strike. Through the eyes of Gary and his sister Mandy we find out what life was like for the children of North Staffordshire mining families during that turbulent year. Based on interviews with the real life children of the strike, this big-hearted play with songs will appeal to all ages, and to those who still remember the Miners' Strike, thirty years on.
