Journeys End -RC Sheriff | |
Journeys end was First performed in 1929, RC Sheriff's great anti-war classic Journey's end is set in the British trenches at St Quentin, and is based on the author's own experiences of the Front. Lieutenant Raleigh has joined the army straight from school and finds himself posted to the Company of Captain Stanhope, barely three years Raleigh's senior and his idol from school. But Stanhope, promoted beyond his experience and years, has changed, and now faces the inevitabilities of the front line. Journey's end is filled with humour in the face of certain tragedy and is as much the story of its many characters as it is an observation on war.
