The critical response was rave, and the play became a symbol of British resistance. Following its success at the Neighbourhood Theatre it was transferred to the Globe, one of the largest theatres in London's West End, with secret funding from Her Majesty's Treasury. "Thunder Rock" became known in Britain as the defining play of World War II. Jeb was presented in 1946 by Herman Shumlin. It received widespread critical praise but failed to find popularity with audiences and also closed after a short run. According to the critical consensus, "Jeb" was far ahead of its time. It is the story of a black veteran returning from service in the Pacific. During the war he has lost one of his legs, but he has gained the ability to run an adding machine. Back home in the rural south he seeks employment, but is faced with discrimination and violence. "(For a full synopsis, see Jeb (play).)"  "Shadow of Heroes, a play in five acts from the Hungarian Passion", was Robert Ardrey's last play. Written in 1958 and presented by Toby Rowland in October of the same year, it dramatized the events that led up to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, as well as the brutal suppression that followed it. The play is in the style of a documentary drama, and is often cited as an early example of Verbatim theatre. The play follows Lászlo Rajk and his wife, Julia, two members of the anti-Nazi Hungarian resistance. It details the arrest and torture of Lászlo, his signing of a false confession under the promise of safety for him and his family, and his subsequent trial and hanging. The play then follows Julia through the uprising and subsequent Soviet repression. The play depicts her arrest and ends with the announcement that she and her son are still under arrest. "(For full synopsis see Shadow of Heroes.)" The play opened on October 7, 1958 at the Piccadilly Theatre in London and resulted in the release, just eleven days later, of Julia Rajk and her son.
