Melvin Bragg’s music-drama The Hired Man is a tribute to his grandfather, a representative of thousands of men of his generation who moved from agricultural labouring to working in the pits of Edwardian Britain, served in the First World War and returned to a land which promised nothing but more sweated labour. Set in Cumberland, the play covers the years 1890-1920.
