PIT

In Pit, the residents of a Welsh mining village are pushed to the brink as the Iron Lady tightens her grip on Britain. The play explores how these people cope with adversity and the lengths to which they will go to survive as the miner's strike of 1984 brings out the best and the worst of this tight-knit community.

Longview Theater Company believes in honestly portraying the human condition with compassion and humor. We want to inspire audiences and give voice to original points of view. We believe theater can provoke thoughtful discussion by portraying the powerful movements, harsh situations, and myriad of inter-connections that end up defining people’s lives. Through this portrayal, we gain understanding of ourselves and our own stories. Long View's inaugural production of And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little by Paul Zindel was hailed by critics as “A near-perfect production,” “A gem, every facet gleaming in a perfect setting.” and “A moving evening of theater.” Pit is their second production.
