Butterfly and Out of the Bad were written by Anne Hogg whose father was amongst the workers who took over the factory for 103 days when it was threatened with closure.

Each focuses on the effect the events of 1987 had on two members of the community, Jamie, who is facing redundancy, and Mary, who realises life must go on.
