We Love You Arthur

This bittersweet comedy play is set during the 1984/85 miners’ strike. Before George Michael was gay, before Madonna was British and before Bob Geldof ruled the world, two teenage girls fell in love with Arthur Scargill. The play tells the story of Julie and Lisa, two girls coming of age in a community being torn apart by the most devastating social confrontation of the late twentieth century: the miner’s strike. Achieving big hair can be problem, but how can you ever look like Cyndi Lauper when your dad’s out on strike and you can’t afford food, never mind a can of extra-hold, perm-welding Elnett? As chaos erupts and their families are divided by loyalty and hardship, the girls are determined to achieve their ambition of meeting their hero and unlikely love object, Arthur Scargill. Julie and Lisa hatch a plan and they’ll do anything to see it through, even dognapping! This is a tragic comedy about friendship, growing up and the facts of life.
