JOURNEY’S END is a 1928 play by R.C. Sheriff. It premiered in December 1928 at the Apollo Theatre in London and in January 1929 it transfered to the Savoy Theatre and later that year to the Prince of Wales Theatre. The play was produced and directed by James Whale (1889 – 1957) and starred Colin Clive (1900 – 1937). Both Whale and Clive joined the British community in Hollywood and teamed up again for FRANKENSTEIN (1931) and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935). The rest is history.
