SHAFTED moves forwards and backwards over time, starting after the
miners strike in 1984. Act One demonstrates the depression and
hopelessness which engulfed a West Yorkshire mining village post the
strike and the plethora of menial jobs which HARRY found in order to try
to make a living. By the late 1990's DOT had suggested they move to
Bridlington to start a new life running a Boarding House. Act Two starts
in 2016 with DOT suffering from cancer, immobile in a wheelchair, the
act moves backwards thought to success of the boarding house and their
new life together, to the time they left UPTON to run the boarding house
in the 1990's.
