Six men and women lost their lives that night. In the aftermath of the war, the inhabitants of Totterdown Street are struggling to rebuild their lives. News is bringing both glory and shame to their community, forcing them to confront the darker aspects of their past. This heartwarming and compelling story explores a community in its finest and yet darkest hour, where most people behaved heroically. A powerful portrayal of life after war, The Glory and the Shame is a moving exploration of human resilience and the complexities of community life.
