«Serjeant Musgrave's Dance» is the play by John Arden, published by Methuen Publishing Ltd in paperback (104 pages, in English).
A sergeant and three soldiers arrive at a snowy northern town with the excuse of recruiting troops, but in reality they are deserters and their leader pursues an obsessive mission: to awaken his compatriots to the cruelty and futility of war. Subtitled «an un-historical parable», the play explores morality, disillusionment and the meaninglessness of conflict.
It belongs to Methuen's Modern Plays collection. The cast of the play consists of thirteen men and two women.
For readers interested in twentieth-century British theatre and anti-war dramatic parables.
John Arden was an English playwright who at his death was lauded as "one of the most significant British playwrights of the late 1950s and early 60s".
