Five star reviewed show and sold out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe four years running is now touring for the first time.

The first half centres on Neville Chamberlain in the run up to his infamous declaration of war broadcast from the Cabinet Room of 10 Downing Street in 1939. The appeaser has lost his final battle. Inevitably he has Churchill waiting broodily in the next room awaiting his personal moment of destiny.

Meanwhile, the BBC are playing light and uplifting music in an effort lift morale. West End singers perform wonderful live songs from the WW2 era throughout.

In the second half it is VE Day, May 8th, 1945. A suburban small crescent in North London prepares to celebrate victory with a street party for all. But is everyone ready? Behind the curtains not everyone is quite prepared to party.

Loss and regret mingle with the flags and the bunting and the patriotic songs. Memorable songs in the end win the day and we are all encouraged to give thanks and join in. Flags at the ready.

Professional West End singers and performers combine to give a superb and memorable evening.
