About the play
Shafted traces the lives of ex-miner Harry and his wife Dot in the thirty years after the 1984 miners’ strike.
The strike is over and the pits are shut. Suddenly, Harry and Dot are thrown together with new battles to fight, and new jobs to hold down – from window cleaning in Wakefield to running a boarding house in Bridlington. Life will never be the same again.
Fuelled with eye-watering honesty and true Yorkshire grit, an hilarious account of those whose jobs were taken and communities destroyed. And how they fought back after being shafted!
