Oh! What A Lovely War
Oh! What a Lovely War is a comedic musical journey through the harrowing events of the First World War. The action on stage contrasts wildly with the realities and images presented to the audience throughout the piece. Well loved nostalgic songs of the time, combined with vintage film footage, guarantee this production will have a lasting effect and be a poignant reminder that 2008 is the 90th anniversary of the end of the Great War. Beautifully presented, and with thought- provoking performances from the rising talent in Scotland today, it’s a show that’s not to be missed.
These performances will be the culmination of a five week course for young people aged between 16-21 taking part in this year’s Scottish Youth Theatre’s highly acclaimed Summer Festival. This course allows all its participants to explore and experience all that is involved in creating live theatre
