Don’t miss Lee Hall’s much praised, fact-based play about a group of Northumberland miners – later known as the Ashington Group – who, encouraged by their hired academic tutor, discovered unexpected skills at their adult educational classes in the 1930s.
Max Roberts’ delightfully witty and entertaining production (which retains a handful of the original cast members from 2007) is clever, informative and sympathetic to these working men whose lack of formal knowledge proves no barrier to their ability to produce impressive works of art, many of which are simply projected on stage as testament to their talent.
Until January 21 Duchess, Catherine Street, WC2B 5LA (020 7452 3000) Tube: Covent Garden/ Charing Cross (£20 - £45) nationaltheatre.org.uk
