Information
CODGERS
Ageing, racism, sexual diversity, inclusion, acceptance - all wrapped up in people’s secrets…
The hit Australian stage comedy of 2008 is back in 2010 with more laughs and a couple of new Codgers.Audiences and critics alike acclaimed Don Reid’s entertaining and beautiful play, the winner of the prestigious Rodney Seaborn Playwright’s Award in 2006.
Eavesdrop on six senior Aussie men, some of them mates since war service, as they sweat it out together each week in a gym and are taken on inter-connected journeys that are challenging, touching and very funny. When secrets, differences and loss of trust threaten to destroy the long-established friendships, they learn that ‘difference’ is more a matter of point of view; that ‘you wouldn’t be dead for quids’ and, no matter what, that you gotta laugh!
Women see their husbands, adult children see their fathers, grandchildren see Grandad and the senior Australian male sees himself.
