Peace In Our Time is a
thrilling drama
about the lives of ordinary people living under enemy occupation, with
that peculiarly British mix of obstinacy, independence , humour and
sheer bloody- mindedness which Coward defined as "London Pride".
With a cast of 30, this fascinating play, unperformed professionally since 1947, shows what might have happened had the Germans been successful in their bid to invade England. Their story of courage, heroism and determination is told with Coward's characteristic wit and humour, concluding in a final uplifting and dramatic climax. " I have often wondered what would have happened if 200,000 German storm-troopers had actually established themselves ashore..." - Winston Churchill |
