| Description |
About the exploitation of fishermen in the fishing industry. "The voyage of The Good Hope is a journey on which the life of the entire community depends. A storm rages, the women and children wait ashore, the boat follows the Greenland catch..." Unsure whether this play was the original, set in Holland, or the well-known adaption by Lee Hall, that is set in Whitby, England in the early 1900s. |
