We’re Not Going Back
We're Not Going Back is about the 1984/85 miners' strike... more or less. But in this hard-hitting musical comedy there are no miners. Instead we follow the fortunes of three sisters in a pit village, hit hard by the Government's
war against the miners and determined to set up a branch of 'Women Against Pit Closures'. Olive, Mary and Isabel are like any other sisters whose everyday squabbles became a background hum to the strike that forced them to question their lives, their relationships and their family ties.
This strike wasn't just a battle fought out between pickets, police, politicians and public opinion. It was as much a battle in the homes and families of those fighting for their communities. We're Not Going Back tackles the resilience of working communities, the make-and-mend fabric of family and the power of sticking two fingers up to a government hell-bent on destruction… and all with humour, song and a six pack of Babycham.
Suitable for ages 12+ years.
