To Death and Glory

Work:: To Death and Glory (S0754338143)

An epic and moving musical set in the years 1913-1919. To Death and Glory follows the lives of a group of young people from the final days of La Belle Epoque through to the patriotic euphoria on the outbreak of The Great War, and on to the bitter disillusionment that was to follow. The story recounts the struggles of the suffragettes against tyrannical press baron Lord Eastcliffe, and their experiences with force feeding and the notorious Cat and Mouse Act. After the outbreak of war, the suffragettes mobilise for war work whilst their men march off to the front in the certainty that 'it'll all be over by Christmas.' Interleaved with momentous events on the world stage are the lives, loves, jealousies and betrayals of the characters on stage.
