Maggie's End, one of the most controversial and cutting edge plays of the decade is heading to London in April to mark the 25th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike. It will be performed for two weeks from April 6 to 18 at the 500-seat Shaw Theatre in Euston Road, an off West End venue near Kings Cross railway station.
The play will mark the 25th anniversary of the miners’ strike, which ran from March 12, 1984, until March 3, 1995.
Davey Hopper, NUM North East Area secretary, said: "Maggie's End is a great play and we wanted to bring it to the capital. The British public should never forget the despicable role the Thatcher government played in destroying mining communities as well as the shipyards, steel mills and other industries."
... and condemned the Tories to a generation in the wilderness.
And for that the nation can be grateful!
Never forget that!

Bob. I always thought a generation was about thirty years, that would indicate that the Tories won't get back in to power until about 2027. What odds are you currently going to give on that outcome?

We won, your boys took one hell of a beating. Never forget that.
