D-DAY, June 5 1944. 350,000 lives depend on the most important weather forecast of all time.

Pressure, the acclaimed play by David Haig, is the remarkable real-life tale of two warring Allied meteorologists tasked with predicting the weather conditions for the D Day landings.

And we have a pair of tickets for this outstanding play which will be staged at the King's Theatre on Tuesday February 13.

72 hours prior to the D Day landings, Scottish meteorologist, born in Dalkeith, Group Captain James Stagg, advises General Eisenhower on the weather conditions likely to prevail when 350,000 troops are to be sent across the Channel in Operation Overlord. With Stagg predicting severe storms and Irving P. Krick - Hollywood’s meteorological movie consultant - predicting beautiful weather, the future of Britain, Europe and the United States rests on one single forecast.

David Haig is a five-time nominee and Olivier Award winning actor best known for his roles in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, TV series The Thin Blue Line and stage production of The Madness of King George III (Tour and West End). He is also an award-winning playwright. He wrote and starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe in My Boy Jack – which was made into a TV drama for ITV in 2007.

David Haig’s critically acclaimed new play was commissioned by the Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh and played to packed houses in both Edinburgh and Chichester Festival Theatre in 2014.
