Wonderland Nottingham Playhouse Review
The Break A Leggers Review Wonderland at the Nottingham Playhouse.
Wonderland is a regional premiere, a spirited and uplifting drama written by the daughter of a Nottingham miner, Beth Steele. This production is Adam Penford’s first play as Artistic Director at the Nottingham Playhouse.
Set in Nottinghamshire, 1983. Two 16 year olds wait nervously at the pithead. Guided by a veteran miner, they descend into the brotherhood, banter, searing heat and liquid blue light of Welbeck Colliery. Meanwhile in London, an American CEO known as The Butcher is brought in to reform King Coal. Pits close and a strike is called. A Tory MP tussles with his leader’s hard line ideology, whilst an eccentric dandy is sent undercover to break up the strike. Cracks appear on all sides as the embattled miners are torn apart trying to protect their livelihoods and families. Nothing will be the same again.
Will it be Break A Leg? Or LEG IT!!
