Whistle As You Walk Away is a powerful, informative and moving one act play which dramatises the lives and times of Victorian children working in the cotton mills. Viewed through the eyes of the young workers, we hear of their hardships and learn about the difficulties and dangers they faced each working day - and understand how their lives gradually improved. Although simple to stage, this play provides opportunities for young actors to develop mime and movement skills, and enables a number of additional actors to be included in non-speaking roles.
