Join us at the Zion theatre in Bedminster Down for a powerful night of live performance, music, and storytelling as Banner Theatre commemorates the 40th anniversary of the 1984–85 miners’ strike — a pivotal chapter in working-class history.
Through original songs, dramatic monologues, and multimedia storytelling, Battle Lines revisits the communities Banner stood alongside during the strike, drawing powerful connections between the struggles of the past and those of today — from striking Amazon workers in Coventry to farmers’ protests in India.
This moving and politically charged production offers a fierce reminder of how the defeat of the miners paved the way for rising inequality, precarious work, and the erosion of union power — but also of the resilience, solidarity, and courage that continue to inspire resistance today.
Expect an evening that honours the legacy of working-class struggle while amplifying the voices fighting for justice right now.
