The Western Front, Christmas, 1914.
Out of the violence comes a silence, then a song.
A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing Stille Nacht.
Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, peace.
A remarkable true story, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.
“an outstanding piece of musical theater, brilliantly executed”
