A South Shields playwright is marking the centenary of the 1926 General Strike.
Ed Waugh's shows, The Cramlington Train Wreckers, along with Centenary, will mark the 100th anniversary of the 1926 General Strike. The Cramlington train crash of 1926. Picture from the Working Class Movement Library. Playwright Ed Waugh.
Ed Waugh is set to bring two shows to stages in the North East next year.
The nine-day period of strike action took place from May 4 to May 12, 1926, as the General Council of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) unsuccessfully attempted to force the government to prevent wage reductions and worsening conditions for 1.2million coal miners.
