Hull Truck Company's production of this richly humorous, affectionate and touching portrait of life in the West Yorkshire coalfields won a Fringe First at the Edinburgh Festival and was presented in London at the Donmar Warehouse Theatre. Spanning three generations, from 1947 to the present, this compelling saga vividly captures the dreams, ambitions, joys, fears, heartaches and disappointmen's of the Parker sisters, Annie and May, whose hopes centre on May's son, Paul, and his academic success.
