| Description |
This enormously funny musical show is described by the producer, Richard Campion as "total theatre". It portrays real life incidents of the First World War in a combination of pierrot show, review and musical romp against a background of cinematographic slides and posters of the War. It created a new record for the length of run of a New Zealend professional show when it played for one month in Wellington last year. |
