Joan Littlewood est une Réalisatrice et Musicien Britannique née le 6 octobre 1914 à Londres (Royaume-uni)
Joan Maud Littlewood (6 October 1914 – 20 September 2002) was an English theatre director, best known for her work in developing the Theatre Workshop. She has been called "The Mother of Modern Theatre". Her production of "Oh, What a Lovely War!" in 1963 was by far her most influential piece.
Littlewood and her company lived and slept in the Theatre Royal while it was restored. Productions of The Alchemist and Richard II, the latter starring Harry H. Corbett in the title role, established the reputation of the company.
She also conceived and developed the Fun Palace in collaboration with architect Cedric Price, an experimental model of a participatory social environment that, although never realized, has become an important influence in the architecture of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Ah Dieu ! que la guerre est jolie résume et commente le déroulement de la Première Guerre mondiale en s'appuyant sur des chansons et airs de musiques d’époque. Plusieurs de ces chansons remontant au XIX siècle, les paroles en ont été changées de façon sarcastique par les soldats du front. La comédie musicale s'inspire de l'ouvrage d'histoire de la Première Guerre mondiale The Donkeys (1961), d'Alan Clark, très critique envers les officiers ayant gaspillé les vies de leurs hommes.
