Description A theatrical history of Newcastle told through the songs and stories of the time. It seemed relevant that with the imminent closure of BHP, history was repeating itself, as the collapse of manufacturing in Newcastle had also occurred in the late 19th century. With BHP gone, Newcastle wouldn't be a steel city any more...it was changing, but to what, and would we, the ordinary people, have a say?
