3. Pressure

Tickets are still available for Pressure at Kenilworth's Talisman Theatre.

Running every night until Saturday 20 April, this David Haig play commemorates the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Directed by Michael Seeley, this gripping production promises to captivate audiences with its blend of historical events, human drama, and suspenseful storytelling.

Michael commented: "They had just one chance at this almost exactly 80 years ago, and everything had to be right, including the weather.

"The correct final forecast was key to success. But this is not just a story of high stakes, tension and disagreements.

"It is also a moving human story about how real people coped with the pressures of war. There are some lighter moments too - it is truly a play that will make you laugh while bringing a tear to your eye."

Saturday night is sold out aside from wheelchair spaces, but tickets remain for Thursday and Friday.
