Drama on 3: Life in the Tomb

April de Angelis's dramatisation of one of the most celebrated and controversial pieces of 20th-century Greek literature, depicting World War One through the eyes of a Greek soldier. The play reveals the appalling conditions and how badly the army was managed and captures a complex southern European view of World War I. The narrator meets a wide range of nationalities on his journey to the trenches, including a Macedonian family who care for him when wounded, the enemy soldier with the voice of an angel and the Chinese cart driver who helps him when lost. With Scott Arthur, Mariah Gale, Pamela Miles, Nick Mercer, Danny Lee Wynter, Kevin Harvey and Andrew Leung. Produced and directed by Polly Thomas
