Journey's
End
Northumberland Avenue
London
WC2N 5DE
Set in the First World War,
Journey's End concerns a group of British officers on the
front line and opens in a dugout in the trenches in France.
Raleigh, a new eighteen-year-old officer fresh out of English
public school, joins the besieged company of his friend and
cricketing hero Stanhope, and finds him dramatically changed.
Laurence Olivier starred as Stanhope in the first performance
of Journey's End in 1928; the play was an instant stage success
and remains a great anti-war classic.
