Flashback Friday: Heroes

Looking back to the NRT 2012 season, the Studio show was Heroes, written by Gerald Sibleyras and translated by Tom Stoppard.  Heroes is set in a French retirement home for First World War veterans. Gustav, Philippe, and Henri pass their time grumbling about the staff, dreaming about young women and arguing over whether a statue of a dog is alive. They also hatch a plan to make a break for freedom -- taking the dog with them.

In the promo video for Heroes, the director, D. Scott Glaser talked about the dynamic about how the three characters connect with each other: "Phillipe is the middle one.  The two extremes kind of are Henri and Gustave and they drive each other crazy and they are opposites who want different things.  Phillipe is a peacemaker.  He's the one in the middle.  He's a lost soul, a sweet lost soul."
