This dramatization of Frederick Grice's novel tells the story of two brothers, Dick and Kit Ullathorne, growing up in a mining village between the wars. Dick wants to be a miner, like his father, but Kit has other ambitions. The playscript offers a variety of roles for actors of both sexes, and the accompanying activity section includes work on accent and dialect, characterization, and the historical background to the play.
