Heroes

ON THE STUDIO STAGE

July 2 – 19, 2015
By Gerald Sibleyras (Translated by Tom Stoppard)

Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy! A quirky quartet comprised of three elderly WWI veterans and a stone dog statue, spend their days occupying the terrace of an old soldiers home in France in 1959. The three men share stories, memories, and ideas of varying mental clarity. Troubled over their monotonous lives, they hatch an escape plan — destination: Indochina or just over the nearest hill. Heroes is a touching and achingly honest portrayal of what it means to be a survivor. Rated PG.

"The sound of Heroes is the sound of a direct theatrical hit, a boulevard comedy bull's eye. . . . Heroes achieves a seductive fusion of the comic, sad, and absurd." -Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard

"Achingly funny, piercingly sad . . . Line by beautifully delivered line the play proves wonderfully entertaining. There are echoes of Waiting for Godot in the characters' attempts to pass the time with little 'canters' of conversation." -The Daily Telegraph
