Journey's End (Penguin Modern Classics)

Product Information

Throughout the play, Sherriff slowly builds the suspense as attack threatens, and as he does so he explores his superbly developed characters and introduces a tone of dread but one with moments of dark humour and then small disputes between officers. Instead of writing a play that is about the combat, Sherriff chose to focus on the men and their feelings. Whale travelled to the United States to direct the Broadway production in 1930 at Henry Miller's Theatre.

This left me into tears, because Osbourne and Raileigh are my two favorite characters in the story and they both die. We add mylar covers to all books with DJs to preserve the DJs and add luster to magnify their beauty. There’s one scene where several characters are waiting until they must go over the dugout and into no man’s land, and each minute is excruciatingly counted down. A touring company took the same production to over 30 venues across Britain in 2004 and 2005 and back to London, to the New Ambassadors Theatre from September 2005 to January 2006. I accidentally spoiled the ending for myself by reading the foreword but my foresight didn't alter my perception of the play at all.A radio adaptation by Peter Watts was produced for BBC Radio 4's Saturday Night Theatre in November 1970, featuring Martin Jarvis as Captain Stanhope.

The first revival of the work was in 1934, with Horne, Stoker and Smith reprising their original roles, and Reginald Tate as Stanhope. Having studied this play at school when I was fifteen, I'm now gearing up to teach it to my own students.It’s a stunning and deeply moving evocation of the sacrifices made by so many young people during the conflict of 1914-1918 and well worth the hour or two it takes to read.

Ben also encapsulates the drawbacks of the National Bus Company’s centralised structure introduced towards the end of the 1960s and just to prove nothing is new looks at the issues of central versus local decision making.While Hardy jokes, Osborne defends Stanhope and describes him as "the best company commander we've got". Stanhope’s world weariness and stiff upper lip mentality mean that the intolerable stress he is under is only ever alluded to. Osborne describes the madness of war when describing how German soldiers allowed the British to rescue a wounded soldier in no man's land, while the next day the two sides shelled each other heavily. Although it was fought by air and sea too, it’s the land war we tend to picture first when our thoughts turn to the First World War – as inevitably they will this centenary year – and above all of course the Western Front and the Trenches.

Stanhope has a keen sense of duty and feels that he must continue to serve rather than take leave to which he is entitled. But I love the theatre and I’ve wanted to read Journey’s End for a while now because I’ve heard it was beautiful and tragic.
