GO-LIGHTLY Theatre Company bring their production of John Godber's Happy Jack to the Cotswold Playhouse stage on Saturday at 7.30pm.
The drama follows a miner, Jack, and his wife Liz through various key moments in their lives, including their first meeting and marriage.
Jack – nicknamed happy because he always looks miserable – works down the pit, but spends every spare minute composing poetry. Despite this, he's not always able to articulate how he feels.
Liz, while having intimations of the cancer that is going to kill her, hopes that the next generation will not have to struggle as they have done.
The play balances humour and some tougher realities about the lives of working miners.
Cotswold Playhouse is on Parliament Street, Stroud. Tickets are available from the Sub Rooms.
