"I write on my lap with the wind rocking the wagon"

Based on the diaries of women on the famous 2000 mile Oregon trail, this play tells the tale of daleswomen Annis Hawker, her sister May and daughter Hope and the incredible journey they make from the lead mining communities of Northern England to the Wild West of America. From Wensleydale to Wyoming.

First toured more than 10 years ago, and brought back by popular demand, the play has been refreshed and developed by writer director Nobby Dimon. Told this time with live music and dance as well as North Country's now famous wit and theatrical invention the story moves from laughter to tears and back again as it takes the audience on an epic journey of the imagination.
