Adapted from David Haig’s stage play by Anthony Maras, Pressure is a lean 100-minute chamber piece that foregrounds weather, science and leadership, delivering tense, quietly gripping performances and a timely meditation on truth, expertise, and decision under pressure.

When the Forecast Decides D-Day: A WWII Weather Thriller

Release date: May 29, 2026.

The Truth About Digging Through the Earth

Drilling straight through the Earth is currently impossible due to extreme heat and pressure, with the deepest borehole reaching only about 12 kilometers, far from penetrating the Earth's crust or core. The immense temperatures and pressures at the Earth's interior would destroy drilling equipment and make such a project unfeasible with current technology.
