We Can Be Heroes

This is a show about facing your fears and becoming a super hero.

Teenagers Patrick and Mark spend their days dodging school bullies, reading comic books and dreaming of escape from their small town home. Then they meet Mr Smith – a real-life super hero, with his own costume and canine sidekick.

But as they come into conflict with a group of older boys, will he be able to save them from the gang’s clutches?

Inspired by real events and featuring original live music, We Can Be Heroes is a charming and surprisingly moving new story about growing up to be what you always dreamed of.

The show toured during 2015 to around 15 venues across the country, where audiences called it “funny, warm and thoughtful”.
