This Powerful Play Full Of Northern Wit Is Maxine Peake’s First Play For The Royal Exchange Following The Critically Acclaimed, Beryl.
“We Are Women Against Pit Closures And We’re Occupying This Pit”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.
