This acclaimed production is coming to the Ryan Centre, Stranraer on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 September at 7.30pm with a matinee on Wednesday 17 September at 2.30pm.

The play exposes the lives of a Fife mining family staring hunger and defeat in the face during the General Strike of 1926. Driven by live, gutsy, folk-punk songs and intense, full-blooded choreography, this uncompromising production is a stark reminder that class conflict between those at the bottom of the social heap and those in power is perennial.
