David Grindley’s multi-award winning production of R.C. Sherriff’s classic war drama Journey’s End, based on the author’s experience in the trenches of World War 1, comes to London for a seven week season during its National tour.
This gripping tale about ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances celebrates humour and courage, engaging audiences with a compelling insight into how, in the face of adversity, the human spirit will always triumph.
Set in St Quentin in 1917, eighteen-year-old 2nd Lieutenant Raleigh is the new arrival in the company, commanded by his former schoolboy friend Captain Stanhope. There’s only three years between them, but a lifetime of experience separates the pair as Raleigh discovers that the man in army greens is much changed from the boy he left behind in cricketing whites.
