Journey’s End

Playwright R.C. Sherriff's war drama mostly leaves the fighting and dying offstage, but out of sight does not mean out of mind. Written and first performed 10 years after the end of “the war to end all wars,” this drama—well-acted and tightly paced in this California Stage production—is as gripping and pertinent now as then. F, Sa 8pm; Su 2pm. Through 7/6. $15-$20. California Stage at the R25 Arts Center, 2509 R St.; (916) 451-5822; www.calstage.org.
