Details

Both World Ware I and World War II inspired some of the greatest writing of the twentieth century. This powerful and moving collection of poetry, prose and song explore the horror and the wit that emerged from the pens of poets such as Binyon, Brook, Owen, Thomas and Sassoon. Extracts from the memoirs of celebrities such as Joan Littlewood, Spike Milligan and Dirk Bogarde, and the recollections, diaries and poetry of ordinary servicemen and women, are interspersed with some of the most popular songs from both wars, creating a thought provoking and entertaining evening for all.
