Direct from the West End, Ian Hislop and Nick Newman’s The Wipers Times (Monday 16 – Saturday 21 October) tells the true and extraordinary story of the satirical newspaper created in the mud and mayhem of the Somme. Far from being a sombre journal about life in the trenches, they produced a resolutely cheerful, subversive and very funny newspaper designed to lift the spirits of the men on the front line. Sponsored at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre by Investec.
