The Northern Echo: World War One play
A MOVING play about a company of soldiers in the First World War is being staged at Darlington Civic Theatre.
Journey's End tells the story of Raleigh an 18-year-old soldier who joins a besieged company of soldiers in the British trenches at St Quentin.
There he finds his new comrades being led by his old school friend Stanhope, but discovers that the man in army greens is much changed from the boy he left behind in cricketing whites.
The RC Sherriff play is directed by David Grindley and won critical acclaim in the West End and on Broadway.
It is based on the author's own experience of the front and life in the trenches, and celebrates humour and courage in the face of certain tragedy.
The play runs until Saturday, March 5.
Tickets are available from £15 to £22, with discounts available. Performances are evenings at 7.30pm with matinees today (THURS) at 1.30pm and 2.30pm on Saturday.
To book, contact the Box Office on 01325-486555 or visit www.darlingtonarts.co.uk
A donation for each ticket sold will be made to the poppy appeal supporting The British Legion.
