HEROES
by Gerald Sibleyras Translated by Tom Stoppard
The year is 1959. Three Frenchmen, veterans of the First World War, reside in a home for old soldiers situated in the French countryside. Henri has been trhere for twenty-five years and is resigned to the idea of seeing out his life in this establishment, cared for by Sister Madeleine and her fellow nuns. Philippe, a resident of ten years standing is similarly resigned, thoughn a recent fear of Sister Madeleine and her motives has made life less than comfortable for this injured and mentally damaged veteran. However, this relative stability is disturbed by the arrival of the restless Gustave, a man who, though suffering from some form of agoraphobia, incites his companions to escape the confines of the home to seek new adventures and experiences. These three make an unlikely team and Gustaves insistence on taking a stone statue of a dog with them complicates the project, so what will be their destination? Indochina? The local village? Or the poplars on the horizon?
