Michaelmas Week 5

You could have heard a pin drop in the quiet; yet you knew thousands of guns were hidden there, all ready cleaned and oiled — millions of bullets lying in pouches — thousands of Germans, waiting and thinking.

The Western Front, 1918. A group of young British officers await an imminent German offensive.
Each of the men has different coping mechanisms to deal with the strain of war, as they rely on increasingly strained camaraderie, amid the claustrophobia of their dugout.
But tension in the dugout is pushed to breaking point when Lieutenant Raleigh, an eager, fresh-faced recruit, straight out of school, arrives in the trenches to find his friend and childhood hero, Stanhope, profoundly changed by the conflict. Terrified that Raleigh will write home and betray his trauma and alcoholism to the outside world, Stanhope is forced to confront his past. But with the German attack expected any day, time is running out for them all...
A masterpiece of modern theatre and West End hit, Journey's End is the only First World War drama written by someone who fought in the trenches, and is widely considered one of the defining dramas of the century.
It is an unflinchingly raw portrayal of the Western Front, written by a veteran of the very war that it depicts. Set entirely in an underground dugout, it delivers a candid and unapologetic display of life in the trenches, and the relentless intensity of war.
