Keir Hardie - The Man they could not buy

The story of the Scottish miners’ leader who became the first Labour MP, the cause he believed in, the wife who supported him and the men who opposed him.

Thousands who saw this play in civic theatres, church halls and miners’ social clubs all over Britain, found it deeply relevant to the situation today.

The power and warmth of Hardie’s personality breathes through the play showing the secret of his leadership - his militancy without bitterness, why millions trusted him, how his fight for brotherhood and peace stemmed from a deeper commitment.

The play script has a Foreword written by Sir John Boyd, Former General Secretary of the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers.
