Young actors take journey into the horrors of war
2007
Overview
Called the most accurate portrayal of war ever written for the stage, the play is set in English officers' quarters in the support line, just 50 yards from the front trenches and about 100 yards from the Germans. Among the lead characters is 21-year-old Captain Stanhope, played by Paul Chiusolo, of Port Perry, a young man at the front for almost three years. His dedication and courage are legendary as is his resort to alcohol to help him deal with his demons. His second-in-command is the older Lieutenant Osborne, played by Andy Williamson, of Port Perry. Known as Uncle by the men, Osborne is a schoolmaster who keeps his sanity by reading passages from Alice in Wonderland. The new officer Raleigh has hero- worshipped Stanhope since school days and is dismayed to find him much changed by the war. Other actors in the play are Graeme Clarke, of [Whitby], James Gilbert, of Whitby, Matt Gmitrowicz, of Oshawa, Spencer Jones, of Whitby, as the cook Private Mason, Colin Murphy, of Leaskdale, Landon Drew of Port Perry, and Howard Linscott, of Port Perry. Journey's End will be presented Feb. 1, 2 and 3 at Town Hall 1873 in Port Perry, Feb. 9 and 10 at Paul Dwyer Catholic High School in Oshawa and Feb. 16 and 17 at Father Leo Austin Catholic High School in Whitby. The performances all take place at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available in Port Perry at Henshalls Clothing on Queen Street and through www.starticketing.com.
