The trailer for the play can be watched here. WONDERLAND TRAILER
Wonderland was written partly out of a desire to recreate the world of the miner before the Strike. Her characters are fictional, but do of course draw on people remembered from childhood. (source)
Wonderland (the play) premiered in 2014 at Hampstead Theatre in London. It is also a book, set in The Midlands – 1984.
