Whether 'Tis Nobler ...?
-To suffer the slings and arrows
Of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them ?
Who more deserves the glory, the fame and the remembrance, the honour
and respect of a nation which has suffered the callous reality of war,
-the national and political leaders who lead a country into war?
-or the people who have to suffer the slings and arrows, both at the
front and at home?
Shrewsbury Theatre Guild, an amateur organisation, presents readings
celebrating the achievements of ordinary people, some incredible, some
modest, some amusing, when war has blasted them from the lives that they
have known and drawn resources out of them that few would have believed
that they possessed, recorded in their verses or autobiographies, many
written at the time or soon afterwards.
The now famous poets in the trenches of the first world war, then young,
unknown, sharing unending mental and physical punishment with the men
around them;
The men and women of the second world war, both at the front and on the
receiving end back home;
