"EMOTIONS RUN DEEP DURING WAR SHOW"
“This production is not only superb, it’s one of the best (plays) the festival has ever presented. It’s the most deeply moving production Drayton has yet staged... it’s virtually impossible to find fault with “You’ll Get Used To It”... a moving tribute... heart-breaking... Colley evokes the full emotional resonances of the time.” 
Kitchener-Waterloo Record

"AN AMAZING PRODUCTION"
“The Drayton Festival has mounted an amazing production that poignantly captures the essence of war... the show is packed with drama, comedy and music. Peter Colley has crafted six very believable soldiers... there are haunting songs that linger in the mind long after the final song of this outstanding production. The (scene of) the arrival of the troops on the beach at Dieppe is an astonishing monologue that rivets the audience. ... The final scene (of the play) is one of the most poignant moments of the show.” 
The Observer

"TALENTED CAST TEAMS UP FOR WINNING WAR SHOW"
“An immediate success... the audience response has been so great that the run has been extended. ... Inevitable scenes of war’s ultimate tragedy staged with great poignancy... The War Show gives eight performers a chance to shine in comedy, drama and song. It is the distilled memory of an era when life was made more precious by the realization that it could end at any moment. It is a living, breathing archive... it is a fitting testimony to their finest hour.” 
The Stratford Beacon Herald

"PETER COLLEY IS A CANADIAN NATIONAL TREASURE"
“The play is full of humour, both political and military... the show bursts with energy and literally crackles from beginning to end. (The play) is the definitive statement on stage of the triumphs and frustrations, the tears and laughter which brought Canada through WWII.”  
The Kitchener-Waterloo Record

"WAR SHOW WINS AUDIENCE"
“Peter Colley has wrapped all the feelings from people in all walks of life. It’s a timeless blend of hilarious fun... skillfully woven together where one hilarious scene is followed by a nostalgic tune. The show is littered with one-liners that kept the audience howling with laughter. This is one of the best shows that (Drayton) has produced, and that’s saying a lot.”  
The Guelph Mercury

"DRAYTON HAS A WINNER"

"YOU'LL GET USED TO IT" ENJOYING A SPECTACULAR PRODUCTION"
Drayton's production is an adept blend of poignant, memorable moments.  History comes to life in a skillful blend of drama, music and comedy in one of the most thought-provoking and ambitious plays.  As you watch the talented cast go from a comical musical skit, you are surprised to find yourself holding your breath in another scene as the danger of battle becomes overwhelming.  Gut-wrenching scenes will move you to tears.  The audience was tapping their toes and humming along... and that's the kind of show this is: it moves you to sing along, to think and remember, to laugh and cry.  What else can you ask of a night at the theatre?"
