An epic, hilarious and moving play that takes a sideways look at
the First World War. 1915. Jack Twigg, twenty-one years old,
enlists in the London Regiment and goes on a journey he never
imagined - nor did the rest of the world. On his way, he meets the
pioneering medic Harold Gillies, who saves his life and his sanity.
And who is the mysterious Doctor Scroggy who appears at night in
Gillies' hospital dispensing champagne to the patients? Doctor
Scroggy's War premiered at Shakespeare's Globe, London, in
September 2014. Howard Brenton is a prolific playwright whose plays
have been staged at the Royal Court Theatre, National Theatre, RSC
and Shakespeare's Globe among others. Other writing work includes
collaborations with David Hare and thirteen episodes of the BBC1
drama series Spooks. 'sharp and entertaining... strikes a chord
with our own intensified concern for the returning veterans of
Afghanistan and Iraq' - WhatsOnStage 'appealing and engaging... one
of the very finest of this year's glut of First World War dramas' -
Evening Standard 'Howard Brenton's fine new play... hits you in the
heart' - Guardian 'compelling... [a] big, warm, perceptive play' -
