Extra Information

• Notes: Inspired by a true story of friendship & survival. In the trenches of WW1, a group of British officers await their day of reckoning.A powerful & moving play, based on R C Sherriff’s own experiences as a young Army officer. Inside the frontline dug-out, the officers moods change from light-hearted chatter to sombre thoughts. The men talk about their lives back home, their children, wives & lovers. The pressures of war on men so young, take their toll. A school boy friendship is put to the test under such conditions & as the final minutes tick away, we begin to glimpse what is meant by the ultimate sacrifice.
