When a methane gas explosion kills 151 coal miners in a small
Illinois town, the residents find themselves splashed across the
front page of every newspaper in the country. Three days after the
fatal explosion, three miners are still missing and rescue efforts
are underway amid the turmoil of reports of a failed Federal Safety
Inspection, rumors of possible cover-ups and Communist espionage,
and visits from heavy-hitting politicians, union labor leaders,
government agents, and newspaper reporters. An award-winner in the
Writer's Digest International Play Competition, the action in this
two-act play captures a microcosm of small-town intrigues, lives,
and loves while dealing with the problem of mine safety issues
which still plague the country today. Note: This fictional play is
based on the Centralia and West Frankfort, Illinois coal mine
disasters in the mid 20th century which hit the headlines again
with the mining disaster in Montcoal, West Virginia in April, 2010.
