Shafted!
T01188227982
In 1984 the miners were defeated, their families were torn apart and the media circus went home. John Godber's epic new play traces what happened to miner Harry and his wife Dot in the thirty years after the strike. Suddenly they were thrown together, with new battles to fight, and new jobs to hold down; from window cleaning in Wakefield to running a boarding house in Bridlington; but life would never be the same again! Fuelled with eye watering honesty and true Yorkshire grit, this is an hilarious account of those whose jobs had been taken, and communities destroyed, and how they fought back after being shafted! The Pits may have gone, but the shifts are still seismic!
