A guide for the modern moonshiner that conveys the basic techniques for quick and easy homemade bourbon: how to use sugar to distill a 'moonshine'; how to build an inexpensive corn cooker and make corn whiskey; how to build a mash tun to create a grain whiskey wash; and, finally, the piece de resistance, how to distill that wash into whiskey.

Based on fact, the story tells of a strike by the girls in a match factory in 1888, when unions were still groping for recognition and mass withdrawal of labour was an almost unheard-of strategy in industrial relations. The match-cutters finally rebel against working conditions in which young girls had their jaws rotted away by phosphorus, and discipline was maintained by a system of crippling fines and sanctions. A grim episode, perhaps, but not many minutes of the play are allowed to pass before the natural ebullience of the traditional Cockney sparrow helps to create sparkling entertainment which warms the heart, yet retains the essential drama of the central theme.13 women, 5 men
