Book description
Ben Brown's political thriller takes us behind the doors of Number
Ten in May 1940 during three pivotal days in British History when,
extraordinarily, giving in to Hitler was seriously considered. Having
urgently assembled the British war cabinet, the new Prime Minister is
confronted with an intense game of political chess as he tries to
persuade peace treaty supporters, including Neville Chamberlain, that
Britain must not concede. 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. Three Days in May was presented by Bill Kenwright and
first performed at Theatre Royal, Windsor, in August 2011.
