The production was staged by Terry Johnson, marking both the 50th anniversary of the original production (also seen at Stratford East) and the 100th anniversary of the First World War. It is built upon the songs that ordinary British soldiers sang during a war that killed ten million in four years.
The production has also been nominated for the 2014 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre.
