The Show: Pressure
The Playwright: David Haig
The Theatre: The Ambassadors
This play encapsulated the 65 hours before the D-Day attack in a relatively fast 2 hour production. After reading the script, I noticed some differences in the production that I saw and that written. Primarily there was more swearing and secondly the ad-libs based on integrated technology- for instance they all look out the window and see a plane be hit and crash. It may because I am a theater nerd but I greatly enjoyed the show and its historical accuracies. I was less of a fan of the costuming but I understand that it was historically accurate. I wanted to see the main female character in a pantsuit but instead she was put in a very feminine army uniform. Their emotions and stresses were felt even by those who knew what the outcome was.
