sfletcher26's review against another edition

I have always loved reading plays. Their sparceness has always been their power in that as a reader you always have to do mor to make the story work. You have to act the play out in your own mind; more so than with a novel.
This though is not the easiest of plays to read as there is so much that is visual, newsreels, slides etc and relies on some knowledge of the songs being sung.
I would recommend this wholeheartedly though especially in this the centenary commemoration of the start of WWI.

Interesting parody of the greek chorus and Aristotelian theory of unity, unfortunately I just didn’t appreciate it that much. Thought provoking though, and really smart in some ways, I just can’t express how much I didn’t enjoy it.

“The battlefield is unbelievable; heaps of corpses, French and German, lying everywhere, rifles in hand.”
so like this was good and very anti-war which was cute but it was soo long and drawn out soo much. i appreciated the elements of epic theatre but there were parts that were hard to comprehend and just drawn out. like yes fuck war but i wanted more from the show.

I'm performing some of this in my A Level performing arts. I'm finding it a very fun play to perform and as I love Blackadder, the similarities between the two make it a win win situation!

Maybe if I see the play perform on stage I'd appreciate it much better...
Too many songs.

Decent play. Hard to tell completely what is happening when reading a play though. Would like to see it live
