...wonderful things about the scene is that it's pure theater. Turn it into a movie, and we would be dragged, inevitably, into the action outside. Which would spoil the point: the unmistakable sense of both the ordinariness and the utter incomprehensibility of the experience of men in war. Outside, soldiers are racing across a patch of ground scarcely bigger than the width of a rugby field. Inside, the bunks are still warm; the bacon and tea are waiting. The men are gone for just three minutes. When they return, everything has changed. When it was first staged in London...
