Anxiety builds in Captain Stanhope’s claustrophobic dugout as the threat of an imminent German attack looms over the battalion.
As final orders are received, Stanhope must stir his men to overcome the uncertainty of the unknown, make the ultimate sacrifice and prepare to “go over the top” in a truly heart wrenching climax.
Journey’s End is a harrowing insight into the humanity of the First World War, based on R. C. Sherriff’s own experiences in the trenches, and it arrives at Stantonubry Theatre on Thursday night (October 27).
Utterly compelling, this award-winning classic masterfully brings the courage, valour, humour and inescapable tragedy of warfare to the stage.
Immersion Theatre is an award-nominated touring company who is fast developing a reputation as a producer of top quality drama and family theatre.
Established in 2010 by producers, James Tobias and Rochelle Parry, they have played some of the country’s most prestigious theatres and playhouses, built up a notable portfolio of critically-acclaimed work, and developed a reputation for producing exciting, powerful and accessible theatre of a superb quality.
"We are absolutely delighted to have acquired the rights to this incredible piece," James said. "Being such an admired and respected text, we appreciate the responsibility we have to do it justice as a mid-scale company looking to transition into the world of large-scale touring.
"That said, initial casting has been tremendously successful.
"We are using the costumes from the last West End production and are working to ensure that the quality of product provided is on a level with that of the last major revival. We are passionate about producing top quality theatre at accessible prices and we couldn't be happier to have the opportunity to do so with such a beautifully written and iconic WW1 masterpiece."
