Blackwood to stage new free miners’ strike play

News | Richard Gurner | Published: 16:23, Wednesday June 23rd, 2010.

Blackwood Miners’ Institute Community Theatre will host the first performance of a new unscripted play about the miners’ strike.

Miner’s Girl is based on local memories of the industrial disputes in the 1980s and focuses on how it affected families and communities.

It will be performed by four members of the theatre’s group based on their three months of discussions, story-telling sessions and improvisation work around the period.

The 40 minute show will be in the theatre bar on Wednesday, June 30, from 7.30pm. Entrance is free.
