And a Nightingale Sang

Pittsburgh City Paper: It's hard for Americans to imagine the Blitz. The German bombardment of Britain was so long, so widespread, so routinely surreal, that the era shaped its own culture. Here was the British Empire, once the largest in history, nibbling rations in bomb shelters.

I am glad to see a production focusing around the hardships of the people living in Britain. Having a grand parents who lived though it. They told me stories of their families and its effects on them. Hearing of rationing, blackouts, and other various precautions taken durring war while my grand parents were kids, taught me a lot when I was young and I'm glad that this play exists to pass on the hardships and feelings of the British people.
