Townsend Productions

A powerful new play based on the true story of one of the most turbulent industrial battles - the 1972 Builders' Strike.

By the 1970s the UK's building companies were making millions re-building the country, whilst building workers faced the most dangerous working conditions and poorest wages of any trade. In the summer of '72, building workers launched their industry's first national all-out strike.

The events surrounding the strike are still making headlines to this day, and forty two years on, the high-profile Shrewsbury 24 Campaign, led by picket turned actor, Ricky Tomlinson, is still seeking to overturn the unjust prosecution of the 24 building workers. United We Stand tells the story behind the dispute in a way that is both compelling and thought-provoking.
