On February 19th 1941, the Luftwaffe began a concerted three day attack on Swansea, destroying 41 acres of the old mediaeval centre. ?The Three Nights Blitz claimed over 200 lives and marked the most traumatic period in the "ugly, lovely town's" chequered history. As in towns all over Britain, its survival depended on the gallant work of the Air Raid personnel, the Home Guard, and everyday people just doing their bit. Following its successful run in Swansea last year, this drama reveals the spirit, bravery and unfailing humour of the people of the Second World War. Using music from the period, both sung live and on an evocative soundtrack, it is based on the experiences, lives and loves of a fictional family living in a street that was to be removed from the map of Swansea for ever.
