Synopsis

Set in 1910, this tells the story of one family's fight for physical and moral survival in the poverty and squalor of the dockland slums of Tyneside.

At the centre is the apparently impossible love affair between rugged docker John O'Brien and Mary Llewellyn, a schoolteacher.

With elements of tragedy, humour, intrigue and love, this simple tale affords plenty of scope for imaginative and evocative production
