"In this heartwarming
portrait of a small cotton mill town in Lancashire, Edie Hill is a
tragic heroine who works hard all her life, raises an illegitimate
son, and loses her family one by one as they fall victim to the
cotton mill dust from years spent labouring at the mill.
At the same time, however,
Edie is a truly funny character and the tragic episodes in her saga
are balanced with moments of great warmth and humour".
"In Edie's world you
will meet some amazing characters. There's Irish Mary with her
thirteen ginger headed children - all boys; Daft Lizzie; Tully the
Bully and many, many more.
Adding to the flavour
there's a Sally Army revivalist meeting; a wedding; a funeral and
plenty of "trouble 't mill".
With a cast of over thirty
Home Before Dark promises to be a show to remember".
