<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Celebrated musical about Canada's famous World War I flying ace. Cast of 2 men.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Billy Bishop Goes to War</i> ranks as one of Canada's most successful and endearing musical dramas in history. The Governor General's Award-winning musical documents the glorious World War I exploits of Canadian flying ace Billy Bishop.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>" Billy Bishop is a high-flying ace of a show, capturing the humour, the hellfire and the derring-do of an extraordinary career ... The score is filled with vintage replicas of the kind of songs that sent men rushing in--and out--of battle. There are martial airs, barracksroom ditties, Kiplingesque tunes of glory, Gilbert and Sullivan-like patter songs and also a bitter brew of Brecht-Weill."<br>-- <em>New York Times</em> <p/>" Billy Bishop Goes to War is a delightful--and cunningly wrought--work of art."<br>-- <em>New Yorker</em> <p/>"A landmark of the Canadian theatre ... John Gray's success with Billy Bishop lies in the universality of the human individual--a universality that works precisely because Gray has kept the show on one-individual terms. He creates and deflates the hero myth in the same gesture."<br>-- <em>Vancouver Sun</em><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Gray</b><br>John Gray is the author of a novel, many magazine articles, and several stage musicals, a book on tattoos, <i>Lost in North America: The Imaginary Canadian in the American Dream</i> (1994), <i>Local Boy Makes Good</i> (1987) and the internationally acclaimed <i>Billy Bishop Goes to War</i> (1982) with Eric Peterson.
