WWI – March,1918. In the front-line trenches of northern France, C-company awaits an imminent German offensive coming their way. While the men try to distract themselves and keep spirits high, their war-weary leader Captain Stanhope soaks his fear in whisky. When Officer Raleigh arrives fresh out of training, he is eager to experience the thrill of battle under the command of Stanhope, a family friend. But as Raleigh realises what his former friend has been reduced to, he is brought mercilessly down to earth.
As days tick by, each man is trapped, the tension rising, and the inevitable attack draws ever closer. Based on a Tony Award winning play, this is a harrowing story about courage, honour and the cost of war.
