Excellent drama

Superb dramatisation of the people and events involved in the crucial decision for the D Day invasion and the significance of the weather forecast. Well acted and suspenseful

Absolutely fantastic

Great performance of one of the most important times in our history. I've seen the show twice, it was great to revisit it through audio.

Very good play

Greatly enjoyed the live play at the park theatre. This production is also very good and a very interesting story for those interested in d-day.
