Women protesting during the miners strike

Tinned Goods follows Sue and Rachel, who have not spoken since the miners walked out on strike.

A spokesperson for Birmingham-based Tea and Tenacity Theatre Company explaind: “With their friendship suffering under the strain, forgotten wrongs resurface and loyalties are pushed to the limit.

“In a tight-knit town, as the miners’ wives move from background to centre-stage, can the women find a voice in a battle to save their relationships and their way of life?”

Tinned Goods is part of the Lichfield theatre’s monthly *Garrick Introducing* programme that showcases emerging artists and theatre companies.

The show is at the Garrick on March 31\. Tickets cost £14 (£10 for students) and can be booked online at [www.lichfieldgarrick.com](http://www.lichfieldgarrick.com/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) or by calling Lichfield Garrick’s Box Office on 01543 412121.
