This play was discovered by the director in the British Library and subsequently mounted as the last part of Two's Company's Forgotten Voices season. Although many parallels could be drawn with Journey's End, this play is written from the point of view of the privates rather than the officer class. This production was its first revival since the 1930s.

I represented a variety of locations including an Edwardian House in Britain (for two pages), various trenches (for most of the show), an Estaminet, a dug out and a roadside. I decided that the trench had to provide the central image and that all the other locations should be contained within or spring from it.

I wanted the audience to feel they were looking through a hole blown through the wall of cosy Edwardian complacency. The central structure was comprised two sections of sandbags with a fire step attached. These split in two and pivoted to the sides, the fire-steps being accommodated in the funk holes on either side of the stage.
This change formed the interior scenes: first the estaminet and then later the dug out.
