Theatre 625: Tickle Times

on BBC Two England

by Julia Jones
[Starring] Diana Coupland, John Stratton, David Collings

During the Civil War no cotton reached Lancashire from the plantations. The mills were idle and the weavers starved. But Manchester sent a letter of support to Abraham Lincoln. This play is about a few of the weavers and mill-owners whose lives were affected by these events.
