Joan Littlewood's classic of modern theatre is a lively, biting satire of the First World War, told through songs and original material from the time. From a seaside show at the end of the pier, the Master of Ceremonies lead a powerful cast through a series of entertaining and often touching scenes, with songs including 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary' and 'Goodbye-ee'. Directed by Ian Talbot, this musical was a big success in the open air.
