Breakdown

HENRI- Male 70+ World War I veteran with an unreliable leg. Lived in the veterans home for decades, a romantic at heart but trapped by his own common sense.

PHILIPPE – Male 70+ World War I veteran suspicious of everything. A piece of shrapnel in his brain causes some unexpected behavior.

GUSTAVE – Male 70+ War World I veteran, suffers from agoraphobia (fear of crossing open spaces) is a more recent arrival at the veterans home. Cannot put memories to rest.

The Kitchen Theatre is committed to non-traditional casting. In roles where race, age, ethnicity, gender or the presence of a disability is not germane to either the play or the character’s development, we actively solicit the participation of ethnic minorities, females, seniors and performers with disabilities.”
