| Journeys End | Journeys End tickets from London Theatre Ticket Web |  | Journeys End was First performed in 1929, RC Sheriff's great anti-war classic Journey's End is set in the British trenches at St Quentin, and is based on the author's own experiences of the Front. Lieutenant Raleigh has joined the army straight from school and finds himself posted to the Company of Captain Stanhope, barely three years Raleigh's senior and his idol from school. But Stanhope, promoted beyond his experience and years, has changed, and now faces the inevitabilities of the front line. Journey's End is filled with humour in the face of certain tragedy and is as much the story of its many characters as it is an observation on war. Cast (January 2004): Max Beredt, Paul Bradley, Phil Cornwell, Christian Coulson, Alex Grimwood, Daid Haig, John R Mahoney, Ben Meyjes, Geoffrey Streatfield, Rupert Wickham and Guy Williams. David Haig most recently starred in Hitchcock Blonde (Royal Court Theatre 2003 and transfer to Lyric Theatre 2003). His other recent West End credits include Life x 3 (Savoy Theatre 2002), Alan Ayckbourn's double bill House and Garden (National Theatre's Olivier and Lyttelton 2000) and Art (Wyndham's Theatre, second cast 1997). He was also in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral and the television comedy series Thin Blue Line. |

| | What's New | Journeys End David Grindley's '75th Anniversary' revival of R C Sherriff's play Following a successful thirteen month season in London's West End between January 2004 to February 2005, this production returns to London 'by popular demand'! | | |
Theatre Review | NOTE: Journeys End is set in the trenches during the First World War, as you might expect, there are many loud explosions and artillery noises during the play.
If you've never seen R.C. Sherriff's Journey's End, don't miss this chance... It's never ceased to earn admiration for its gripping portrayal of four days among the British officers of one battalion on the front in 1918... From the opening drop curtain of the royal family in 1914-18, to the closing list of those who died, this production is utterly fresh; the characters are deeply touching. David Grindley directs: even the pauses are wonderful... I expected to find Journey's End old hat. Instead it is as compelling, as moving, as anything in London theatre today.
The Financial Times
Journeys End - the three suspenseful acts building up to the final attack is terrific entertainment... David Grindley directs the production superbly - quite Wonderful stuff.
