Synopsis

The five-star West End hit. June 1944. One man's decision is about to change the course of history. An intense real-life thriller centred around the most important weather forecast in the history of warfare. Scottish meteorologist, Group Captain James Stagg, the son of a Dalkeith plumber, must advise General Eisenhower on when to give the order to send thousands of waiting troops across the Channel in Operation Overlord. In what became the most volatile period in the British Isles for over 100 years, the future of Britain, Europe and our relationship with the United States, rested on the shoulders of one reluctant Scotsman. Pressure is the extraordinary and little known story of a Scot who changed the course of war, and our lives, forever. Pressure receives its world premiere at the Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in 2014 followed by a run at the Chichester Festival Theatre.
