Peter Brook’s provocative anti‑Vietnam War piece, adapted from the Royal Shakespeare Company’s “production‑in‑progress US,” was filmed in London in 1967 and shown briefly in the UK and New York during the conflict’s height. Blending theatrical scenes, newsreel footage, demonstrations, satirical songs and skits, the film offers a layered social commentary on US intervention in Vietnam while depicting 1960s London where art, theatre and protest intersect. It features a young Glenda Jackson alongside RSC icons Peggy Ashcroft and Paul Scofield, capturing the intensity of anti‑war sentiment within the city’s artistic and intellectual community.
