Riverlinks, Steady Lads and Christine Dunstan Productions present CODGERS
Theatre can sometimes offer the greatest joys when it allows us to see the familiar. ‘Menopause the Musical’ was a great example that let people have a laugh at themselves or at what they might become. ‘Codgers’ is right up there in the same league, only this time HE is the subject.
Codgeris Oldus Fartus: The Common Codger.
Everyone knows one, is related to one, lives with one - or is one!
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 interconnecting 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!
