Pitmen Painters - a Brush with Broadway

Documentary. Chris Connel and his troupe of Geordie actors take their hit play about a band of artistic miners to New York. Will the city's fearsome critics give it the thumbs up?

Chris Connel and his fellow Geordie actors have the chance of a lifetime, taking their smash hit play to the States. Lee Hall's production won plaudits and prizes for the story of a group of miners turned artists when it premiered in the north-east. They took it to London and audiences loved it, but now they face the toughest test of all - can they win over New York's fearsome critics?
