Journey's End

Journey's End at Duke of Yorks Theatre

Why see Journey's End?

David Grindley's international multi-award winning production of R.C. Sherriff's masterpiece is a must see of British theatre.

Based on the author’s own experience in the trenches, this gripping tale about ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances celebrates humour and courage, engaging audiences with a compelling insight of how in the face of adversity, the human spirit will always triumph.

Set in St Quentin in 1917, Eighteen-year-old 2nd Lieutenant Raleigh is the new arrival in the company commanded by his former schoolboy friend, Captain Stanhope. There’s only three years between them, but a lifetime of experience separates the pair as Raleigh discovers that the man in army greens is much changed from the boy he left behind in cricketing whites.
