Description

Oh What A Lovely War is a powerful theatrical chronicle of the First World War, told through the songs and documents of the period. First performed by Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop in 1963, it received critical acclaim and won several prestigious awards.

The play has since become a staple of modern theatre, with numerous revivals and adaptations over the years. This new version, edited by Joan Littlewood, returns to the original script, accompanied by a new photo section of the original production. An Afterword by Victor Spinetti adds further insight into this important work.

First performed at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East, London in 1963, Oh What A Lovely War has become an essential part of British theatre history. This edition is now available to be purchased and enjoyed.
