An unexpected force shatters the urbane calm of a Sunday afternoon tea party.
For the last ten years The Red Ladder Company have played in pubs, clubs and community halls, mostly to audiences who have never set foot inside a theatre. Taking Our Time is their latest play. Set in 1842, it uses drama, comedy and songs to tell the story of a turning-point in British history - when the hand-loom weavers of the North rose up against the newly-mechanised world of the Industrial Revolution. Filmed among the industrial museums and the weaving and wool-combing factories of West Yorkshire, this programme shows the making and performance of a new work by one of Britain's most adventurous theatre companies.
The making and performance of a play reflecting the conflict between hand-loom weavers of the North and the newly mechanised world of the Industrial Revolution.
