Revivals One of the earliest revivals of this play was the performances in 1946 at the New Lindsey Theatre in London, directed by Peter Cotes. A TV adaptation (from Granada Television, directed by Henry Kaplan) was broadcast in 1959. The later revivals of this play include performances at the Northcott Theatre in 1974, performances at the Royal National Theatre in London in 1979, and performances at the Old Vic Theatre in London in 1993. The 1993 revival, initially performed at the Salisbury Playhouse, was presented by Deborah Paige, and the cast included Sylvia Syms and Jeffrey Segal. More recent revivals were performed at the Watermill Theatre in Berkshire in 2007, the Union Theatre in 2011, and the Chichester Festival Theatre in 2015. A new performance for the London stage is at Jermyn Street Theatre from 6 September to 5 October 2019. Criticism The anti-war message was not popular with audiences, and the play only ran for 78 performances. The play is mentioned in the context of other plays inspired by the Great War in "A Wounded Stage: Drama and World War I", a 2006 book chapter by Mary Luckhurst, and in British Theatre between the Wars, 1918–1939 (2000) by Clive Barker. In the latter, Barker calls the play a "masterpiece of textured dramaturgy", while noting that it was a "categorical failure". For Services Rendered is compared to contemporary
