The Wives' Tale
Bookends Theatre Group present The Wives' Tale.
Miners’ wives wait anxiously for news of their husbands who are trapped underground following a pit explosion.
Unsure whether their men are dead or alive, the women are forced to confront the ruthless and corrupt pit managers, while dealing with the potential consequences of the ‘shut in’ and the truths surrounding their own lives. From the writer of the critically acclaimed ‘The Shut In’ - this powerful tale examines the true hardships of life in a 1930’s Lanarkshire coal-mining community.
