Based on a novel-length poem by Canadian poet and playwright Mansel Robinson, Spitting Slag is a fiercely poetic portrait of a hard rock miner named Floyd Delormier, who has survived a catastrophic mine cave in that trapped him underground for eight days, forever changing the arc of his life. Floyd is a garrulous and cantankerous soul, working his way back from the darkness toward the light.
Spitting Slag takes the audience into the darkness a mile underground and then brings them back to the surface, lungs burning, into the bright light of redemption.
Shot through with humour and the gritty language of a Sudbury bar on a Saturday night, Spitting Slag shines a light into the heart and spirit of the working men and women who inhabit the main streets of towns and villages across Canada.
