The revival, which officially opens Feb. 22, is directed by David Grindley, who also helmed the successful 2004 London revival.

The play, based on Sherriff's own experiences in the First World War, is about a group of British soldiers living together in a cramped trench in France while fighting the last great German offensive in March 1918.
"It asks the general question, 'Surely there must be a better way to conduct human affairs,'" Grindley told Playbill.com, but "it's not making a strident message."
The design team includes Jonathan Fensom (scenic and costume design), Jason Taylor (lighting) and Gregory Clarke (sound). The producers are Boyett/Ostar Productions, Stephanie McClelland, Bill Rollnick, James D'Orta and Philip Geier.
