Topic: Sherriff, Robert Cedric


  
  Sherriff Family Crest
This occupational surname is derived from the Old English words "scir" meaning "shire" and "refa" meaning "reeve." A Shire Reeve was a Vice Count in charge of the law for a county.
First found in Warwickshire where they were seated from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
In the Sherriff coat of arms as in all coat of arms the crest is only one element of the full armorial achievement.

Nathan Williamson and Mark Stoddard are British officers struggling in the French trenches of World War I in R.C. Sherriff's decades-old drama.
And so Sherriff's script (and the novel into which it was later expanded), inspired by his own life-threatening WWI injury at Espy, is referenced more than it's truly pondered, studied more than it's staged.
Plano Repertory Theatre and actor-director Terry Martin, who has been named artistic director of Addison's WaterTower Theatre, are attempting to remedy this by staging Journey's End for the company's "Season of the Century," in which all the selections highlight some historical benchmark of the 20th century.
