Journey's End

Synopsis: Set against the background of life in the trenches during World War One, the play is based on the author's own experience of the Front. It follows a group of officers behind British lines at St Quentin, France, who await their fate on the front line.

NEW YORK TIMES:
"Though it hasn’t been seen on Broadway in more than six decades, “Journey’s End” turns out to be no quaint curiosity from an age of innocence, dusted off and spruced up for our ironic inspection. It is instead that theatrical rarity, an uncompromising, cleareyed play about war — and not war as it echoes on the home front or in chambers of government, but war as a daily phenomenon for those who fight it."

NEW YORK POST:
"R.C. Sherriff's 1928 play "Journey's End," returning to Broadway Wednesday night at the Belasco Theatre, is a well-bred hymn to that sacrifice, and a beautifully crafted vehicle for over-the-top and through-the-barbed-wire acting that is genuinely moving because of its simple, slightly rose-colored sincerity.

VARIETY:
"The politics, technology, media management and basic tools of war may have changed, but the drama’s insights into the psychological toll of battle and the courage and endurance of its soldiers seem more trenchant than ever in the emotionally wrenching production’s recast Broadway transfer."

NEW YORK SUN:
" From out of nowhere, a British director named David Grindley has exhumed R.C. Sherriff's 1929 World War I drama "Journey's End" and turned it into a profoundly moving evocation of life during wartime, a poignant tribute to those who fight and wait and talk and wait and comfort and wait and wait and die."
