By Don Reid
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 journeys that are challenging, touching and very funny. When secrets, differences and loss of trust threaten to destroy their 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 just gotta laugh!
Former Sydney Theatre Company artistic director Wayne Harrison (the driving force behind Tap Dogs) directs a fabulous cast of six of Australia’s leading senior actors including Ronald Falk (Nicholas Nickleby, Weary), Ron Haddrick (The One Day of the Year) and the ever popular Henri Szeps (Mother and Son). Codgers is the winner of the 2006 Rodney Seaborn Playwright’s Award.
“Don Reid’s witty and gentle play gives so much laughter and a few tears - it must be seen by all and sundry.” - Margaret Whitlam
