Set amid World War II, Three Days In May takes audiences behind the doors of 10 Downing Street during three of the most pivotal days in British history when giving in to Hitler was considered by some to be a viable option. Having urgently assembled the British war cabinet, the new Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, is suddenly confronted with an intense game of political chess as he tries to persuade peace treaty supporters, including Neville Chamberlain, that Britain must fight to the death. Divided on whether to negotiate terms through Mussolini or escalate the battle against fascism alone, one man has to make a monumental decision that will shape the future of the free world.

Warren Clarke returns to the stage for the first time in a decade to play Churchill in Three Days In May. The British actor has a long list of screen credits to his name, from cult Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange to 12 series of detective drama Dalziel And Pascoe. Other credits include Bleak House, The Invisibles, Down To Earth and In With The Flynns.
