Between February 19th and the 21st, 1941, Swansea suffered one of the most intense periods of bombing anywhere in Britain during the war. It left a scar on the landscape of the city that many say has never properly healed; but it served to forge the identity and camaraderie of the town in a way that could never be repeated. This piece is a tribute to the tireless work of the defenders of Swansea on those three terrible nights and all through the war, seen through the eyes of a family living in the soon to be destroyed Goat Street, the street that time forgot. Using music from the period, and the events of those three nights and days, Lighthouse Theatre have developed a show that will make Swansea folk both nostalgic and proud of the role their city played in the Second World War.
