Julius Caesar - Summer 2024

Synopsis

Monkwearmouth Colliery, 1984. 

Fresh from leading a striking workforce to victory by standing firm in the face of immense pressure from above to return to work at Monkwearmouth Colliery to undertake essential maintenance – the streets are ringing with Caesar’s name. 

But not everyone is in a position to celebrate: families are starving, anger is rife, futures are at stake...and desperate times sometimes call for desperate action. 

Deception, betrayal and socio-political unrest reach boiling point this summer – 40 years on since one of the cataclysmic industrial movement that changed the lives of so many forever.
