Read Narrative
Performed from 6 November to 25 November 1967. The Stage (16 November 1967) commented that the revival 'demonstrates more clearly than most plays how fundamentally ideas - and not only theatrical ideas - have changed over the last half-century [...] [it] does not seem quite so topical as one might expect. The sentiments of 1917 would never be uttered, and probably never experienced, in 1967, when, perhaps rather regrettably, they merely seem hilariously funny'. The cast included Patrick Ludlow as the Admiral: he had played the Midshipman in 1917. Others in the case included Graham James, Philip Gilbert, Susan Tebbs, Pamela Lane, Michael Cadman, Philip Morant, and Venetia Maxwell. The set design was by Sidney Jarvis.
