Description

Andrew: It isn't just one shift, it's a lot more than that. If I run scared today, how do I know I can go back down there tomorrow? Andrew and Pam have a young son, and have just purchased their first home. Even though conditions at Westray are nearly subhuman, Andy, alongside his co-workers, descends again and again into the mine, because -- like his fellow miners -- Andy's family depends on his job at the mine. When the Westray mine exploded, a nation was rocked by the human tragedy and by the bureaucratic back-stabbing which ensued after the dead were laid to rest -- chilling proof of the age-old price paid for coal in human blood. Playwrights Chris O'Neill and Ken Schwartz, basing their play on Dean Jobb's book Calculated Risk: Greed, Politics, and the Westray Tragedy, give the lives and homes of the community of Plymouth, Nova Scotia a human face and a voice beyond the screaming headlines in the newspapers. In Westray: The Long Way Home, O'Neill and Schwartz show an intimate picture of families who have staked their hopes for the future on a mine known to be dangerously mismanaged, a place of frequent cave-ins and gassings.
