violence
Impressionistic violence occurs during clashes between miners and police, and between different mining factions during an industrial action dispute. Arguments between family members erupt into punches, and violence is occasionally accompanied by discriminatory language. A song discusses abusive experiences from a woman's marriage.
language
There is strong language ('f**k'), which is accompanied by milder terms ('son of a bitch', 'dickhead', 'prick', 'twat', 'wanker', 'bollocks', 'shit', 'crap', 'arsehole', 'bugger', 'bastard', 'sod', 'bloody', 'bollocks', 'hell', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'God') as well as middle finger and two-finger gestures.
sex
A girl offers to show a boy her 'fanny', but he declines. There are also verbal references to adultery, and mild visual references to sexual activity during adverts for other theatrical performances.
discrimination
Homophobic attitudes are expressed by several characters, including use of discriminatory terms such as 'puff', 'queer', 'bent', 'fruit' and 'sissy'. Other language includes use of 'spastic'. The performance locates such attitudes in a particular historical time period, which are not endorsed by the work as a whole.
injury detail
A man has bloody cuts over his face and hand after implied violence off-screen.
rude humour
A joke is made about a dance move called the 'nutcracker', and another about Margaret Thatcher's knickers.
theme
Characters grieve for the loss of loved ones. A community struggles with the realities of industrial action, losing their livelihoods and tensions between local people on either side of the dispute.
