"As you get older, its harder to have heroes but its sort of nessersary" - Ernest Hemingway

Everyone needs a hero?
 Do heroes still exist?
In an age of intense media scrutiny of tradtional heroic figuires in sport, politics and the celebrity culture choosing heroes we can faithfully believe in has proven difficult. Many heros held up as role models have fallen from their lofty heights, Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods and even Peter Garrett to name a few.

“Every hero becomes a bore at last’ Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Is it possible to still believe? Where do we get our heroes? Is there pressure to be a hero in today’s achievement and celebrity obsessed culture?

This production will dissect the way we construct our notion of a hero and how the hero ideal influences our lives.

‘If everybody was satisfied with himself there would be no heroes.’ Mark Twain
