BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Following a hugely successful sell-out run in March, One Night in November returns to the Belgrade's B2 auditorium for a further three week run from 8 – 29 November 2008.
This gripping wartime love story set during the Coventry Blitz received an overwhelming response from audiences and critics alike when it premiered at the Belgrade in March.
Coventry, November 1940. Katie, a headstrong 18 year old training to be a teacher, encounters the stranded Michael, an Oxford tutor of Romantic Literature and Language, while waiting for the All Clear at the railway station. It's the beginning of what could be a straightforward love story.
But nothing is straightforward in wartime. Unknown to Katie, Michael has been forced to turn his language skills to deciphering codes at Bletchley Park.
Katie lives with her family in Coventry – she has no idea how terrible the threat of war is. But Michael does…
Following the story of one family's harrowing experience of the Coventry Blitz, the play examines the idea that Winston Churchill had advance warning of the attack. Was Coventry sacrificed for the greater good? Or to provoke America into the war?
One Night in November looks at the politics of that night and the aftermath of the destruction, and pulls no punches as it reflects on some of the crimes – great and small - that were committed under cover of blackout. -- www.belgrade.co.uk
