Episode 933: War & Musicals - Untold Wars
About this episode
This episode explores the portrayal of war and conflict in musical theatre, focusing on a verbatim musical created for the centenary of the First World War.
MusicalTalk continues its exploration of the many and varied ways that war and conflict can be portrayed in the world of musical theatre. This week, Thos revisits a remarkable piece of verbatim musical theatre (itself a rare and unusual form) created to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, which explored 100 years of the British involvement in battle through the musicalisation of real testimony from actual participants. And as the video of the show remains viewable on YouTube, it's a musical you can still watch as well as hear all about.
