A Galway Actors Workshop Production

The Heroism Hotline

Written by Donnacha Bushe and Sarah O'Toole, directed by Sarah O'Toole

Dave, Mary and Sean are paid to be heroes, but who are they being heroes for? The massive heroism outsourcing corporation they work for or the clients who ring their callcentre because they have no one else to turn to? And how can they help either of those when they can't even help themselves? With a bit of divine intervention, our three heroes discover for themselves what being a hero is really about. This piece was inspired by devising work we did as advanced students of Galway Actors Workshop.

Galway Actors Workshop provides a wide variety of drama classes for adults in Galway in the form of self-contained workshops and short-term courses, many of which culminate in an end-of -term performance, giving the invaluable experience of being onstage. We believe that for all of you who have ever just wanted to "give it a try" it is never too late! Find out more at www.galwayactorsworkshop.com.
