The Report

safe place to buy provigil online Inspired by real wartime events, this is the story of one spring evening during the Blitz. 

No bombs fell that night, but in the surge towards the shelter of Bethnal Green tube station, 173 people lost their lives. An investigation into what happened during those few fatally confused minutes begins at once, but for the survivors, it will be years before truth can finally be disentangled from rumour, and guilt from grief. The Report is a provocative commentary on the way all tragedies are remembered and endured.
