JOURNEY'S END
R.C. Sherriff's Journey's EndIn the days leading up to the last great German offensive of the First World War, Raleigh, an 18 year old soldier joins a besieged company of soldiers in the British trenches at St Quentin. There he finds his new comrades being led by his old school friend Stanhope, but discovers that the man in army greens much changed from the boy he left behind in cricketing whites.
Journey's End is the Olivier-nominated, Tony and Drama Desk award winning production directed by David Grindley that won critical acclaim in the West End and on Broadway. R. C. Sherriff's masterpiece is a must see of British theatre.
'David Grindley's superb production - arouses emotions that go too deep for words'
Daily Telegraph
Based on the author’s own experience of the Front and life in the trenches, it celebrates humour and courage in the face of certain tragedy, and remains an important reminder of the horrors of war and the real, unromanticised heroes who fought it.
As our young men continue to fight and die for their country in foreign fields, this tale of ordinary men facing extraordinary circumstances exposes the impact of war past and present and why in remembrance their sacrifices cannot be forgotten.
'As compelling and moving as anything today. Don’t miss it.'
