Ageing Heroes

The story of three old men whiling their time away in a retirement home hardly sounds like gripping entertainment - but “Heroes”, Tom Stoppard’s English version of the French play by Gerald Sibleyras is a humorous yet bittersweet examination of ageing. In this local staging of the play, the World War I veterans are played by Patrick Teoh, Thor Kah Hoong, and Paul M. Baker, with Gavin Yap directing. We speak to the director and cast members about bringing the play to life.
