Broadcast Premiere
It’s March 1918, and World War I is raging in Europe. In the trenches in northern France, a group of British officers, led by the war-weary Captain Stanhope, ready themselves for a major German attack while facing their worst fears. Author R.C. Sherriff drew on his own experiences in World War I to create the play, which premiered in 1928 and is now considered one of the preeminent works about the horrors of war.
