You're listening to Adelaide News today, powered by the Daily News Now. Sterling players kicked off their 2026 season with no cowards peace in our time. A 1946 play, imagining a world where Nazi Germany won the Battle of Britain and occupied the United Kingdom. The story unfolds in the saloon bar of a London pub called the Shy gazelle during the 1940s, exploring how ordinary people cope under, occupation. Director G.F. Britton leads a cast of 17 actors with mixed experience levels. The production runs over two hours and 30 minutes, featuring live piano music with aerosongs like a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square and Will. Meet again to heighten the emotion. Some standout performances include the public and family trio, the cabaret stars with snappy banter, and heartfelt turns from an elderly couple and a sharp supporting role. Meanwhile, the paste drags in the first act, with fumbled lines and uneven accents holding back tension in key scenes. The set design captures a detailed, worn pub atmosphere that feels alive,

complemented by subtle lighting, high quality costumes, and period hair. These elements immerse audiences without stealing focus. Running until March 28th at Sterling Community Theatre, this timely revival highlights ongoing relevance to modern conflicts. It's worth catching, though it includes stage violence, gun violence, and simulated smoking. The Daily News Now is presented by a sponsor, linked in the description. Your pillow just got smarter.
