"We started together on this terrace and we'll finish together under the poplar trees."
Whiling away the years in the confines of a French military hospital, three First World War Veterans plan a great escape from their terrace to the poplar trees at the top of the distant hill and beyond. The only problem is; Henri has a dodgy leg, Philippe keeps passing out because of the piece of shrapnel stuck in his head and Gustave hasn't left the home in years...
In their way stands the steadfast Sister Madeline, their own thwarted ambitions and each other. Will their camaraderie bring them together to make it past the front gate, with the proposed fourth member of the party: a 200lb stone dog statue?
An award-winning, comedy by Gerald Sibleyras translated by Tom Stoppard.
