Introduction; 1. Night watches, Allan Monkhouse; 2. My eyes have seen, Alice Dunbar-Nelson; 3. Tunnel trench, Hubert Griffith; 4. Post mortem, Noel Coward; 5. Oh what a lovely war, Joan Littlewood; 6. The Accrington Pals, Peter Whelan; 7. Sea and land and sky, Abigail Docherty
The First World War (1914-1918) marked a turning point in modern history and culture and its literary legacy is vast: poetry, fiction and memoirs abound. But the drama of the period is rarely recognized, with only a handful of plays commonly associated with the war. This title draws together canonical and lesser-known plays from the First World War to the end of the twentieth century, tracing the ways in which dramatists have engaged with and resisted World War I in their works.
