Description |
Three-act play by Ronald Gow and Walter Greenwood. Adapted from Walter Greenwood's novel of the same name. The play depicts a northern English manufacturing town and the varied tales of people affected by unemployment.
The scenes are laid out in Hanky Park, a part of Salford, England, though their counterparts are to be found in the congested manufacturing districts of almost any country. "The time is ripe, and rotten ripe, for change." Repeat performances were given on 11th & 18th December 1938. |
