Lee Hall's funny, feel-good and spirited play is based on the true story of the mining men who became acclaimed artists. In 1934, a group of Northumbrian miners from Ashington hired a Master of Painting to teach an Art Appreciation evening class. The pitmen became painters. Their work was celebrated by the British art world and its collectors. By day they worked in the mine. By night they painted on canvas.

We are one of Devon's leading amateur theatre groups and have been presenting plays in and around Dartington and Totnes for nearly 70 years. Our home is in Studio 31 at Dartington Hall. This is a large, purpose-built fully-equipped rehearsal and performance space, where we try to stage two or three main productions each year, plus small-scale studio work in Bogan House, Totnes, and we are always keen to grow our membership. Our oldest acting member is over 80, our youngest 15. While many people come to us from the Dartington or Totnes area, we also have actors, directors, prop makers and technicians living in Plymouth, Torquay, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and beyond.
