About
Danny Mellor presents his critically acclaimed show Undermined once more to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of this brutal and divisive conflict.
Fuelled by energetic and engaging storytelling, a classic soundtrack and performed with nothing more than one actor, a chair and a pint of beer, Undermined will have you laughing, crying and shaking with anger.
Undermined is a gripping, powerful, witty and gritty play based on the accounts of miners who were involved during the 1984/85 miners’ strike. A show for those who know nothing about the strike and for those who remember it all too well.
About the Play

Running Time: 1 hour approx. (no interval)
Inspired by the accounts of miners who lived through the 1984 Miners’ Strike, Undermined takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions in this controversial industrial struggle.

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.
