Three Days In May

Ben Brown's new play Three Days in May in London starring Warren Clarke and directed by Alan Strachan.

May 1940... Downing Street... Three days that will change the course of history... Forever.

Having urgently assembled the British war cabinet, the new Prime Minister is suddenly confronted with an intense game of political chess as he tries to persuade peace treaty supporters, including Neville Chamberlain, that Britain must not give in. Divided on whether to negotiate terms through Mussolini or escalate the battle against fascism alone, one man has to make a monumental decision which will shape the future of the free world...

Ben Brown's political thriller takes us behind the doors of Number Ten Downing Street during three of the most pivotal days in British history when, extraordinarily, giving in to Hitler was considered by some to be a viable option.

Three Days in May in London stars Warren Clarke as 'Winston Churchill' along with Robert Demeger as 'Neville Chamberlain' and Jeremy Clyde as 'Lord Halifax'. The production, which comes into London's West End following a two month regional tour, is directed by Alan Strachen with designs by Gary McCann, lighting by Mark Howett and sound by Martin Hodgson.

Three Days in May in London at the Trafalgar Studios 1 previews from 31 October 2011, opens on 2 November 2011 and closes on 3 March 2012.
