With 2014 marking the 100th anniversary of the First World War it’s safe to assume that there are more than a few theatrical events planned to mark the occasion. One of the first to show its hand though is this new musical from Phil Willmott, and whatever follows it’s hard to imagine that Lost Boy will be matched, at least for its sheer inventiveness.
