“Heroes” - a wry comedy about three old soldiers is playing at the Oast Theatre in London Road, Tonbridge.

Henri, Philippe and Gustave live in a sanatorium, somewhere in France. Each has his weakness: Henri, as he puts it, has ‘one and a half legs’, Philippe keeps passing out due to a piece of shrapnel lodged in his brain, and Gustave is afraid to venture beyond the gates of the home.

Tom Stoppard’s translation of the original script by Gerald Sibleyras makes for a witty and entertaining production; and an unusual take on war.

The play starts tomorrow (Saturday), November 15, and runs till Sunday, November 22. Performances are at 8pm, and 3pm on Sundays. Tickets £10 from 01732 363849.
