Lorna (Barbara Marten) has built a career out of protest, originally as a miner's wife politicised in the 1980s. She's about to have a community centre named after her, so her family has descended en masse. 'Emmerdale' writer Karin Young set out to pen a play about the gulf between an older generation's feminist principles and those of their daughters and granddaughters. In some ways, she succeeds: the play sheds light on the opportunities thrown open for working-class women by the union disputes of the Thatcher era, and neatly expresses Lorna's dismay at her granddaughter's disregard for those hard-won freedoms. There are some laugh-out-loud moments and a quartet of warm, naturalistic performances, but Young's characters ultimately feel too much like a set of stereotypes and her play never quite ignites.
