Oh What a Lovely War
, created by Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop, premiered in
London in 1963. It is a chronicle of the First World War told
through songs and documents of the period. Poignant events and
stark images of suffering are juxtaposed with satirical
clowning, comic skits, and song and dance numbers, in the spirit
of English music hall entertainments. This innovative
collaboration of actors, writers and director is a milestone in
the theater of war.
