Inspired by the accounts of miners who lived through the 1984 Miners’ Strike, Undermined takes audiences on a rollercoaster of emotions in this controversial industrial struggle.

Meet young miner Dale, his best mate Billy, cheery Tony and the comic relief Jonny. Fuelled by energetic and engaging storytelling, multi-rolling and direct address, Undermined offers up a message of unity and solidarity.

Audiences are invited into the action and taken on the journey that Dale and his friends experienced in this divisive year. Whether you lived through the 80’s or not the piece delivers a powerful and compelling narrative that anyone can relate to.

2024 will be the 40th anniversary of the strike with organisations such as the Orgreave Truth & Justice campaign still fighting for justice for the police brutality endured by many miners. This will be the last ever tour of Undermined.

Undermined is coming to the Lane Theatre in Newquay on Tuesday, October 2, The Acorn Theatre in Penzance on Wednesday, October 3 and The Poly in Falmouth on Thursday, October 4.
