The 60th anniversary tour of Joan Littlewood’s Musical Entertainment. By Theatre Workshop, Charles Chilton, Gerry Raffles and members of the Original Cast.

More than a century on from the Armistice, Oh What A Lovely War remains a classic of the modern theatre and a powerful reminder of the atrocities of a war that cost twenty million lives. Told through the songs and documents of the period, it’s a satirical attack on the military incompetence and inconceivable disregard for human life for the First World War has come to represent and a chilling reminder of a man’s inhumanity to man.

At turns satirical, funny and deeply moving, Oh What A Lovely War has a style of all its own, combining live music, dance, songs and sketches to create a picture of life for those on the front line, and those behind it.

Marking the 60th anniversary of Joan Littlewood’s landmark work, Blackeyed Theatre revives its hugely acclaimed 2011 production, featuring five incredible actor-musicians who play, sing and act their way through one of the greatest satires ever written. It’s Oh What A Lovely War as Joan Littlewood intended and an unforgettable theatrical experience.
