Love On The Dole is a poignant 1934 play celebrating the strength of the human spirit.

It is set in 1930 in Salford during the Great Depression, when mass unemployment threatens to devastate the residents of Hanky Park. With their father out of work, the burden of keeping the family together falls to Sally Hardcastle and her brother Harry, as they desperately fight to break free from the shackles of poverty.

Unlike film, theatre doesn't have an official age classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision.
