Undiscovered Country

Undiscovered Country is a 1979 Tom Stoppard play first produced at the Olivier Theatre in London. The play is an adaptation of Das Weite Land by the Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler, which focuses on 1890s Viennese society, demonstrating the effects of upper class codes of behavior on human relationships. The main character is a self-made businessman named Friedrich Hofreiter who manages to be both charming and chauvinistic. Stoppard's alterations to the play consist of adding humor while lessening the melodrama. The title of the play is a reference to the concept of the afterlife as the "undiscovered country" from the "To be, or not to be" soliloquy in Hamlet. more »

World War 2
1943        
We rationed gas, food, and clothing
To help our boys fighting in a great war
To keep evil from knocking on our door

In the name of liberty
We sacrificed
To help our boys half a world away 
We sacrificed

From Bedford Falls to Bangor Maine
8000 ration boards spread the pain
Sales of cars, sugar and coffee slowed
Factories switched to tanks, planes and torpedoes 

In the name of liberty
We sacrificed
To help our boys fighting half a world away
We sacrificed

When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah Hurrah
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah Hurrah
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

The old church bell will peal with joy
To welcome home our darling boy
Hurrah Hurrah
Hurrah Hurrah
Get ready for the Jubilee
We'll give the hero three times three
Hurrah Hurrah
Hurrah Hurrah

Modern times, another war
Surprise attacks kill thousands on our shores
Our best and bravest into the breech  
Their Sacrifice, shared by their families

In the name of liberty we
To help our boys half a world away we

Raise your eyes so you can see
Brave men and women die so we can be free
How can we honor their memories
For their Sacrifice for Liberty
