Anne, Elaine, Dot and Lesley. Four ordinary women, facing the closure of their community. It's 1993 and the Parkside Colliery pit may be winding down, but they're not giving up. Their bras stuffed with contraband, they take a tour of the pit and refuse to come up. Settling into the depths of the mine, making tissue roses and walking imaginary dogs, they face bribery and threats. But as they dig in, those up top start to realise these ladies are not for turning.T0421690935Producer Royal Exchange Theatre. Producer New Vic Theatre. Director Bryony Shanahan. | |
