. "Ashington, 1934" . "The Pitmen Painters is a play by Lee Hall based on the Ashington Group of painters. Hall learnt about the group from a Guardian article by Martin Wainwright. This encouraged him to buy the book \"Pitmen Painters: The Ashington Group 1934-1984\" by William Feaver about the group, on which the play is loosely based."@en . "The Pitmen Painters"@en . .
