Three Days in May
Was giving up ever an option…? May 1940… Downing Street… Three days that will change the course of history… Forever.
Ben Brown’s gripping new play, Three Days in May, goes behind the closed doors of Number Ten during three of the most pivotal days in 20th Century British history when, giving in to Hitler was considered by some to be an option. Havingonly served three weeks in office, the new PM is confronted with an intense game of political chess as he tries to persuade peace treaty supporters, including Neville Chamberlain, that Britain must fight and fight to win whatever the cost. However, it is down to one man to make a monumental decision which will shape the future of the free world…
