Housman poem known as ‘How Clear, How Lovely Bright’.

“Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,” wrote English poet A.E. Housman. “But young men think it is, and we were young.”
Houseman’s poignant words appear on page two of the screenplay for “1917,” co-written by the film’s director Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, the gripping journey of two British soldiers who endeavor to save thousands of lives on foot during World War I.
Mendes, who stunned by taking the director and picture, drama trophies at Sunday’s Golden Globe awards, and Wilson-Cairns also sell the innovative conceit of their narrative on the script’s third page — which you can find below in its entirety, exclusive to Variety.
“The following script takes place in real time, and — with the exception of one moment — is written and designed to be one single continuous shot,” they advise the reader.
Mendes has spoken at length this season about his deep ties to the war,...

Tony Award-winning actor Richard Easton, who broke a 30-year break from Broadway to make an acclaimed performance in Tom Stoppard’s 2001 play The Invention of Love, died Dec. 2 at age 86.
Easton’s death was announced in a Facebook post by his friend and colleague James Wallert, co-artistic director of Epic Theatre Ensemble. No cause of death was disclosed.
Born in Canada and building an acclaimed, six-decade Broadway career beginning in the 1950s, Easton won the Tony for leading actor for his performance as A.E. Housman in the Stoppard play.
Easton made news of a different sort when he appeared in another Stoppard play five years later: During a preview of The Coast of Utopia, Easton fainted on stage after experiencing a heart arrhythmia. Co-stars Ethan Hawke and Martha Plimpton called out for a doctor in the house.
