High drama at WW2 tipping point.By Queen of HeartsI found this play a superb dramatization of the moment when WW2 hung in the balance. Newly installed PM Winston Churchill stands up against arch appeasers former PM Neville Chamberlain and Lord Halifax. I only wish I could have seen the play. Hope someone makes in into a teleplay. Highest recommendation.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Man who saved Western CivilizationBy steven kAsked to write a review of Three Days in May. I saw this play. Three Days in May. last year in London. Play takes place in May. 1940. Churchill has just become the Prime Minister. France was about to surrender to Hitler. the British Army was still trapped in Europe. The miraculous Dunkirk evacuation had not happened yet. The British War Cabinet was divided regarding negotiating a peace treaty with Hitler. The play demonstrates Churchills political skills and how he maneuvered the cabinet to fight on. If Churchill had not prevailed. Nazi Germany would probably still control Europe. Without England. the history of WWII would have been totally different. I found the play very exciting and riveting. so I purchased this copy of the script.
