One of the best peices of WWI literature May 22, 2004 10 out of 12 found this review helpful
Brilliantly balanced between sorrow for those who fought for our country and satirical humour to mock the incompetence of the military which lead to the deaths of 9,000,000 people.
A very moving play, even better when performed. A must buy!
Highly entertaining yet shocking June 21, 2002 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This theatrical chronical of the First World War uses a pierrot syle show with dances songs and m.c's narration to create propaganda. Hilarious is the ridiculing of the officers and Generals in charge of our country at the time. However the vivid imagery and slides and signs remind us how horrific War was. An interesting read yet a little monotonous. Worth a read for drama and history fans.
A Great Piece Of Satire which is so often misunderstood. July 5, 1999 23 out of 28 found this review helpful
A great piece of writing and definatley worth the price. One of the greatest satire's ever devised yet it is so often misunderstood as a tastless skit. This condems war at every level... It certainly doesn't poke fun at the many who died during the "Great" war.
