Heroes March 26, 2008

Queensland Theatre Company in Association with Riverside Theatre
Presents
Heroes
From Wednesday 26 March for five performances only

Queensland Theatre Company in association with Riverside Theatres present Heroes at Riverside Theatres from Wednesday 26 March for five performance only. Written by Gerald Sibleyras and translated by Tom Stoppard, this is a story that is both poignant and hilarious, starring Robert Alexander, Max Gillies and Dennis Olsen.

Set in rural France in 1959, time is running out for three WWI veterans, until they hatch a daring plan to seize the day – their own great escape from the nursing home!

Our three ex-Musketeers, Henri, Gustave and Philippe, spend their autumn years reflecting upon the peculiar circumstances of their equally peculiar nursing home. Will Philippe survive Sister Madeleine’s obsession with birthdays? Can Gustave ever get past the front gate? How will Henri woo his young school teacher? And is there more to the stone dog then meets the eye? Stoppard’s Olivier Award winning translation of Sibleyras’ gentle comedy sparkles with the master playwright’s trademark wit and wordplay.
