Event Description
By Shelley Middler
The play follows four retired miners as they discover how a review into the policing of the mining strikes in the 80s by the Scottish Government suddenly affects them, their friendships and their relationships.
Journey with us between the past and present as we hear how one unforgettable and violent day of striking at Bilston Glen Colliery leaves Charlie, Billy, Tommy and Glen, wrestling with what they think is right. Discover who they are now, who they once were and most importantly, where they stand on the picket line.
With dramatization of real stories and experiences, The Collie’s Shed brings a powerful and emotional call to arms over injustices and hardships that are arguably still felt to this day.
Recommended for ages 12 plus, strong language.
Running time: 1h 20m
