This musical presentation of the First World War is told through songs and sketches. The original cast took a radio presentation in 1964 and then added their own material. They told the tragic story of the war mainly from the point of view of the men who fought in it. Their sacrifice is brought to the fore as we share their life in the trenches and battlefields. The show received critical acclaim and has been performed in many ways since then. The themes of hardship and the futility of war are still relevant today. The original show used multi media slides and visual media that was ahead of its time in the 1960's. Studio 61 will make full use of the multi media aspects of the show using the technology available today.
