Synopsis
And a Nightingale Sang is a play by British playwright C.P. Taylor (1977). Described as a bitter-sweet comedy, the play is set in Newcastle during World War II and portrays Helen Stott and her family as it copes on the home front with life during the war. The play’s name is derived from a popular war-time song sung by Vera Lynn called “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square”.
