Heroes [Gérald Sibleyras]

Heroes (full name: 'Heroes: Le Vent Des Peupliers') is a 2005 play by French dramatist Gérald Sibleyras, translated and adapted by British playwright Tom Stoppard.

"Gustave, Henri and Phillipe are World War 1 veterans now spending their days in a retirement home. They reminisce about life and love while planning an improbable escape from the clutches of Sister Madeleine.

Should they take the stone statue of the dog on their favourite terrace with them? Gustave thinks so; Henri is dead against; whilst Phillipe is convinced the dog moves."
