All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914

Writer-director Peter Rothstein draws from patriotic anthems, war songs, Christmas carols and medieval ballads from multiple countries—as well as texts written by World War I soldiers—in his original musical about the 1914 ceasefires between British and German troops that brought temporary yuletide goodwill to the Great War. Having played in more than 50 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada since its 2007 premiere (including Off Broadway in 2018), the show has now been recorded as a PBS special that premieres on TV on November 27 and becomes available for streaming on December 15.
