Description
Hampstead Theatre At Home presents Beth Steel's Susan Smith Blackburn Prize nominated play, Wonderland, from Monday 6 April until Sunday 12 April 2020.
The Midlands, 1984.
Two young lads are about to learn what it is to be a miner, to be accepted into the close camaraderie and initiated into a unique workplace where sweat, toil, collapsing roofs and explosions are all to be met with bawdy humour.
London, 1984.
A conflicted Tory MP, a brash American CEO and an eccentric maverick are the face of a radical Conservative government preparing to do battle with the most powerful workforce, the miners.
As the two sides clash, the miners fight for their livelihoods and families, and the government for its vision of a free Britain.
Together they change the fabric of the nation forever.
Beth Steel's Susan Smith Blackburn Prize nominated play, originally performed at Hampstead to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Miners Strike, is directed by Edward Hall.
Originally performed and live streamed in 2014 on The Guardian website, this unique recording of Wonderland returns as part of the Hampstead Theatre At Home series.
Thank you to the whole company for kindly allowing us to share this incredible play again. Wonderland is available to watch on demand from Monday 6 April until Sunday 12 April.
