All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914
-
This music and theater piece recalls an astounding moment in World War I when Allied and German soldiers met in “No Man’s Land” and laid down their arms to celebrate the holiday together, trading carols, sharing food and drink, playing soccer and burying the dead. Written and directed by Peter Rothstein, "All Is Calm" combines period songs and firsthand accounts of this remarkable event, and has already become a holiday classic.The production is brought to life by a cast of 12 who blend patriotic tunes, trench songs, medieval Scottish ballads and carols from England, Wales, France, Belgium and Germany with text written by more than 35 people who fought or served on both sides of the disastrous conflict.
