In Time O' Strife

<i>There's nae power on earth can crush the men <br/>who can sing on a day like this.</i><br/><br/>A powerful re-imagining of Joe Corrie's neglected classic about a Fife mining community during the General Strike. <br/><br/>To raise funds for the soup kitchens feeding the miners and their starving families Corrie wrote <i>In Time O' Strife</i> in 1926 whilst on strike himself exposing the brutal lives of a family staring hunger and defeat in the face. Some 87 years later Graham McLaren has adapted designed and directed this rarely performed classic play.<br/><br/>Created by Graham McLaren (<i>Men Should Weep</i> <i>A Christmas Carol</i>) the production uses fragments of Corrie's other plays poems and songs celebrating his ability as a writer and his contribution to Scottish culture.<br/><br/>This edition pairs Corrie's original text with the script created by McLaren's adaptation process.
