In time for Remembrance Day, VideoCabaret remounts The Great War, Michael Hollingsworth's acclaimed play about World War I that played to sold-out houses every night this past spring. In VideoCabaret's magical staging-style, seven actors play more than 40 characters whose stories take the audience from the golf courses of Canada's political elite to munitions factories where widows work, to the front lines of the Somme, Vimy Ridge and more. The Great War starts October 26 for a limited run at the historic Cameron House. For tickets, call 416-703-1725 or visit videocab.com.

The Great War focuses on the mid-ranking officers and infantry-men who are named in no history book -- their stories link the front line with the home front, and intensify the tragedy in this play as far as satire can go. The show elicits horror and laughter with the graveyard humour of soldiers, the murderous foolishness of leaders, the absurdity of warfare.
