SYNOPSIS

Tom Stoppard's  translation of Gerald Sibleyras's  "Heroes"  is a seductive fusion of the comic, sad, and absurd.  The setting is a nursing home for disabled  veterans outside Paris in the 1950's.  Despite war wounds, agoraphobia, and fainting spells, 3 veterans of World War I plot their escape from the nuns. Their task is complicated by the decision to take a large statue with them.  At times achingly funny, at times piercingly sad , the play is wonderfully entertaining.  Will today be the day the finally make it to Indochina...or perhaps only as far as the top of the hill?
