Set on the East Yorkshire Wolds this play traces the story of British agriculture through four generations.
By Richard Bean
Dickon Tyrrell- Director
Beginning in 1875 with 94 year old pig farmer Orlando Harrison taking up a wager with Lord Primrose Agar, who under the influence of alcohol, agrees to give 82 acres of his land to Orlando if he outlives his border collie pup. Agar lost his bet. The play moves through the struggles and dramas of war time life and ends in 2005 with an elderly Harrison protecting his farm from burglars. In true Yorkshire spirit, this family takes everything that is thrown at it and shows a struggle to hang on to the farming way of life they have worked so hard for.
