Photo Flash: First Look at Shakespeare & Company's HEROES
Leave it to Artistic Director Tony Simotes and Shakespeare & Company's irreverent 'master of wit' Kevin G. Coleman to bring audiences one the funniest plays Stoppard has put his pen to in the Company's 36th Performance Season with HEROES. Written by Gérald Sibleyras and translated by Tom Stoppard, the show, directed by Coleman, boasts a stalwart trio of actors including Jonathan Epstein, Malcolm Ingram and Robert Lohbauer in this auspicious comedy. Heroes runs now through September 1, in S&Co.'s Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Winner of the 2006 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, Heroes is the irreverent story of three World War I veterans confined to a retirement home in their twilight years. The year is 1959, and Gustave, Philippe and Henri amuse themselves with nostalgic anecdotes, provocative gossip, and generally irritating one another. But life in the French countryside proves to be a bit too calm, and the three war veterans begin to plot their escape. Coleman (The Liar, The Winter's Tale, and Director of Education), who was at the director's helm of the Company's critically-acclaimed production of Rough Crossing in 2006, which also featured Ingram, teams up with other longtime Company members Elliot Norton Award-winner Jonathan Epstein and Robert Lohbauer. Tickets to Heroes are $15-$50, and S&Co. offers a wide range of discount options, including discounts for groups, students, senior citizens, military, teachers and our very popular 40% Berkshire Resident Discount.
