IT is March 1918. Anxiety builds in Captain Stanhope’s claustrophobic dugout as the threat of an imminent German attack looms over the battalion.
As final orders are received, Stanhope must stir his men to overcome the uncertainty of the unknown, make the ultimate sacrifice and prepare to ‘go over the top’ in a truly heart-wrenching climax.
Based on R. C. Sherriff’s own experiences in the trenches, Journey’s End is a harrowing insight into ‘the war to end all wars’.
Revived by Immersion Theatre, the award-winning classic masterfully brings the courage, valour, humour and inescapable tragedy of warfare to the stage.
Journey’s End appears at the Arts Centre tomorrow at 7.30PM. Tickets are £16. To book go to swindontheatres.co.uk or call 01793 524481.
