In September 2018 a production was staged by Fintry Amateur Dramatic Society (FADS), in "The Studio", a converted barn outside Killearn, Stirling. ROBERT Cedric Sherriff was born in 1896 and educated at Kingston Grammar School and New College, Oxford. Set in the First World War, Journey's End concerns a group of British officers on the front line and opens in a dugout in the trenches in France. Each character is just so human, and although there’s a lot of content quite like this kicking around these days, Sherriff’s personal story, publishes in 1928 truly lays the ground work; it sets the bar high.

Hardcover in black cloth spine on original patterned paper boards, fade to spine, wear to edges, else sharp. Hardy jokes about the behaviour of Captain Stanhope, who has turned to alcohol to cope with the stress that the war has caused him. He leaves the dugout, and the play concludes with a bomb hitting the dugout and burying Raleigh’s body.In 2015 the Shute Theatre and Arts Guild (STAG) staged a production of the play in St Michael's Church, Shute, Devon, directed by Elisabeth Miller. A cover of Sherriff's "Journey's End" shows soldiers holding rifles fixed with bayonets inside a trench. It held close to the original script although there were changes, the most obvious being the depiction on camera of the raid, which happens off-stage in the theatre production.

A review of the play is laid in on the next blank page, opposite the opening scence (leaving a similar ghost). Performed for more than two years in London, the play was one of the most popular productions of the 1920s. Raleigh is only three years younger, but there’s a gulf in terms of the wartime experience that separates the pair.And yet the play differs from many post-1914 works of WWI fiction, in that it is not clearly antiwar.
