Lyceum Theatre Oldham presents 'Heroes'
Description
Lyceum Theatre Oldham present 'Heroes' by Gerald Sibleyras (translated by Tom Stoppard)
95 Union street, Oldham
23 November – 1 December 2018, 7:30pm, £9
Celebrating the anniversary of the end of WW1, this playful, bawdy and heartbreakingly funny play is set in 1959, in the garden of a rest home for veteran soldiers. Gustave, Philippe, and Henri – war heroes, all – are plotting an escape from the tortures of their confinement: dictatorial captors, untrustworthy fellow ‘prisoners’, and far too many birthday parties. They hatch a plan to escape to Indochina, or at least to picnic under the poplars on a nearby hill. Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2005
