In September 1934, there was an explosion at Gresford Colliery in North Wales and 265 men were trapped by fire. The pithead wheels still stand as a memorial to those men. This play tells the story of a young girl whose life was marred by that tragedy and by another mining disaster many years later in South Wales - on 21 October 1966.
