Oh What A Lovely War

by

Charles Chilton

Directed by: Betty Heap

5th - 8th May 1976

Oh! What A Lovely War summarises and comments on the events of the First World War using popular songs of the time, many of which were parodies of older popular songs, and using allegorical settings such as Brighton's West Pier to criticise the manner in which the eventual victory was won.
