On Saturdays This Bed is Poland

T0287201576
A gripping drama about migrant workers, gangmasters and the battle for a single bed. In the fields and factories of Lincolnshire everybody knew Marek; he was the big-hearted hero of a thousand migrant workers, and when he was killed on an unmarked crossing that summer they mourned his passing. Then Mirka got off a bus from Poland looking for her brother and everything started to change. Julie Wilkinson's gripping drama tells the extraordinary, funny, tragic story of three women thrown together miles from home, a teenage boy's first summer of live, and the single bed across which battle lines are drawn as a hundred years of history and hatred threaten to tear their worlds apart. Suitable for 14+
