Oh What A Lovely War - NEW College

Join NEW College Degree and Diploma students, for an unforgettable theatrical experience. At times satirical, funny and deeply moving, Oh What a Lovely War has a style all of its own, combining live music, dance, songs and sketches to create a picture of life for those on the front line and those behind it. Created and first performed by Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop in 1963.

NEW College’s Oh What A Lovely War is a classic of the modern theatre and a powerful reminder of the atrocities of a war that cost twenty million lives. Told through the songs, headlines and facts of the period, it’s a satirical attack on the military incompetence and disregard for human life the First World War has come to represent a chilling reminder of man’s inhumanity to man.
