A historical drama about the relationship between illusionist Harry Houdini and author Arthur Conan Doyle.
The play follows Rudyard Kipling’s efforts to secure a military commission for his nearsighted teenage son Jack, and the family’s grief after Jack goes missing and is later confirmed killed in the First World War. Years afterward, Kipling interviews a soldier who recalls Jack’s final moments, while the family confronts the meaning of his death as another war threatens.
Pressure is a 2014 play written by David Haig, based on true events that took place during World War II. It centres on the true story of James Stagg and the weather forecasts that determined the date of the D-Day landings as part of Operation Overlord. The personal and military stresses of Stagg, the tensions between the teams with different weather forecasts for the date of the proposed D-Day, and the events of the 72 hours leading up to D-Day are explored throughout the play. It premiered at the Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh in May 2014, and had its West End premiere at the Ambassadors Theatre in June 2018. The play had its North American premiere at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto in January 2023.
