Mugsborough 1926
In “Mugsborough 1926” the threat of civil unrest is gripping the country. Socialist ideas and talk of revolution are in the air, as workers and managers come to blows. Old friends FRANKIE OWEN and CHARLIE LINDEN are set on a collision course when they take opposite sides in a dispute at local firm Rushton’s.
