In 1984, the miners were defeated, their families 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. Fuelled with eye watering honesty and true Yorkshire grit, this is a hilarious account of whose jobs had been taken, communities destroyed, and how they fought back after being shafted!

Performed by the multi BAFTA winning partnership, John Godber and Jane Thornton.
