Codgers

Ageing, racism, inclusion, acceptance - all wrapped up in people's secrets…

Five senior Aussie men, some of them mates since war service, meet one morning each week in a gym. They exercise together, chew the fat, laugh, tease and sing. They solve the problems of the world, agreeing to disagree. When secrets, differences and loss of trust threaten to destroy the 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 gotta laugh!

With a uniquely Australian voice, Codgers allows the WWII generation to look at themselves in the mirror; to celebrate their wisdom; challenges them to embrace change and accept the future.

As director Wayne Harrison said "It's a gentle comedy about the changing face of Australia."

 "…an all embracing glow of observation, understanding and humanity."

Alan Seymour, playwright (The One Day of the Year)

"Wait'll I tell the wife that someone's found my voice - it's an absolute ripper!"
