‘Tell us about them mad and bloody old days.’

Set in the Black Country of the early 19th century, based on the folklore and ballads of the period, The Darlaston Dog Fight presents the story of Rough Moey, collier, innkeeper, hell-raiser and dog-fighter, and the last man to sell his wife in Wednesbury market. From the mines to the bloody dog-pit and bull-stake, Moey’s life is lawless, brutal and violent.
