The Stage Review
'Mollie Cheek’s simple sets and period-perfect costumes add considerably to the entertainment. The members of the vocally valiant and dramatically fully engaged chorus look exactly right as the miners, and as their ‘women and wives’, as one political banner describes them. '
'Splendidly arrayed in a magnificently characteristic Thatcherite costume, complete with enormous handbag'
