Undermined

A play exploring the Miners’ Strike performed at the historic home of the Durham miners on the anniversary of the start of the dispute.

Undermined, written and performed by Danny Mellor, will be hosted at Redhills: Durham Miners Hall on Friday 6 March.

The one-man show is based on true stories and events from the 1984-85 strike. The performance will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with Danny and local people who were active in the strike, which began on 6 March 1984.

The play, featuring just one man, one chair, and one pint, comes to Durham following an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival.

It tells the epic tale of the brave men and women who stood up and fought for what they believed in. It evokes a year when friendships were strengthened, and communities came together in the face of adversity.

Our thanks to NASUWT North East for their support for this event. 

• Doors open at 7pm

• Performance begins at 7.30pm followed by a discussion and Q&A

• Refreshments will be served in the Committee Room

Tickets are priced £6 and £4 concessions (over 65, under 18, unwaged), with a solidarity price at £10 for those able to contribute more and support our efforts to renew Durham Miners Hall. All proceeds to The Redhills Appeal.
