Abstract

This book chapter reads one of MacColl's best plays, 'Landscape with Chimneys' as a theatricalisation of the Manchester-Salford landscape. The play's understanding of the cityscape is profoundly ambivalent; it is a place of pollution, unemployment, poor housing and class inequality but also a site of political change, education and learning. This highly ambivalent image is at the centre of this book chapter.
