An interesting-sounding Noel Coward rarity at the Union Theatre next year

Not a success at the time, presumably not something people were in the mood for so soon after the war. The Union claim it's the first UK revival.

Peace in Our Time is a two-act play written in 1946 by Noël Coward. It focuses on a small group of Londoners in a pub close to Sloane Square, the characters living in a dark, stressful situation in which Nazi Germany won the Battle of Britain and successfully invaded and occupied the United Kingdom. Although fiction, the work takes direct inspiration from the real-life sufferings of French citizens during the German occupation of France, which Coward had followed closely.
