Creative Quarter Over the Water
The 60th Anniversary tour of Joan Littlewood’s Musical Entertainment – Oh What A Lovely War by Theatre Workshop, Charles Chilton, Gerry Raffles and members of the Original Cast.
More than a century on from the Armistice, Oh What A Lovely War remains a classic of the modern theatre and a powerful reminder of the atrocities of a war that cost twenty million lives. Told through the songs and documents of the period, it’s a satirical attack on the military incompetence and inconceivable disregard for human life the First World War has come to represent and a chilling reminder of man’s inhumanity to man.
