Britain's What's On Event Guide
Oh What A Lovely War
Blackeyed Theatre in association with South Hill Park Arts Centre presents
The 60th Anniversary tour of Joan Littlewood's Musical Entertainment
Oh What A Lovely War
by Theatre Workshop, Charles Chilton, Gerry Raffles and members of the Original Cast
Director - Nicky Allpress
Musical Director - Ellie Verkerk
More than a century on from the Armistice, Oh What A Lovely War remains a classic of the modern theatre and a powerful reminder of the atrocities of a war that cost twenty million lives.
A journey from joy to despair and back again, it's a deliciously satirical attack on the military incompetence and inconceivable disregard for human life the First World War has come to represent and a chilling reminder of man’s inhumanity to man.
Wildly satirical, visually stunning and deeply moving, Oh What a Lovely War is a theatrical experience like no other; a fusion of live music, movement, songs and sketches bringing to life the folly, farce and tragedy of the First World War.
Now, more than ever, it holds a mirror up to the world and speaks to us all.
One of the most innovative, audacious companies working in contemporary English theatre
