Fresh from its celebrated West End run, the multi award-winning production of R.C. Sherriff’s Journey’s End, will make its way to Coventry’s Belgrade Theatre from Mon 24 to Sat 29 Oct.
Simon Dutton (Lieutenant Osborne) and Nick Hendrix (Captain Stanhope)
Based on the author’s own experience in the trenches, this gripping tale about ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances celebrates humour and courage, engaging audiences with a compelling insight of how the human spirit will always triumph in the face of adversity.
Set in 1917, St Quentin, 18 year-old 2nd Lieutenant Raleigh is the new arrival in the company, commanded by his former schoolboy friend, Captain Stanhope. There’s only three years between them, but a lifetime of experience separates the pair as Raleigh discovers that the man in army greens is much changed from the boy he left behind in cricketing whites.
