5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational!, 2 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Journey's End: Play (Twentieth Century Classics) (Paperback)
This is the most moving play I have ever read.This play possesses all the dramatic components it needs in order to make it a success: comedy, tragedy, conflict and a flawed hero. This play is the only play I have ever read that has brought a tear to my eye.

As a result of the play's brilliance I am now starring and co-directing a performance of it at my school!

5.0 out of 5 stars A sensitive and moving play., 17 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Journey's End (Penguin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
This drama about trench life in the first world war is a very moving piece. The characters- Captain Stanhope, who has changed dramatically since he came to the front, Raleigh, the young officer and schoolfriend of Stanhope who hero-worships him, the avuncular teacher Osborne, the comic cook Mason, and the other characters are portrayed sensitively and accurately. The play brings out all the tragedy of war, as you would expect, but is unsentimental and even brings out the humour of the situation at times. In short, well worth reading- especially around November 11th.

5.0 out of 5 stars A touching play that portrays the reality of WWI, 27 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Journey's End: Play (Heinemann Plays For 14-16+) (Hardcover)
I first read this play when I was studying for an English GCSE. To be honest, I didn't really expect much of it, as I don't always enjoy the books we are told to read. However, from the moment I opened it, I knew this was something special. Sherriff's realistic portrayal of the WWI trenches and the relationships between the men really do stay with you forever. I never wanted to put it down This is a gem of a book.
