We Could Be Heroes

This is a show about facing your fears and becoming a super hero.

Teenagers Patrick and Mark spend their days dodging school bullies, reading comic books and dreaming of escape from their small town home. Then they meet Mr Smith - a real life super hero, with his own costume and canine sidekick.

But as they come into conflict with a group of older boys, will he be able to save them from the gang's clutches? Inspired by real events and featuring original live music, We Can Be Heroes is a charming and surprisingly moving new story about growing up to be what you always dreamed of. Blending richly nostalgic storytelling with nuanced physical performances the piece questions society's need for heroes who save us through violence and revenge, and looks for salvation in the most unlikely of places. Written by Dick Bonham, from material devise.
