AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Meet six characters in a rest-home. Isolated from the outside world, rivalries emerge as they regain their former strength and the various personalities vie for domination of their new territory. . As fiction and reality blur, we are privy to the madness of violence and trauma of war. They turn to saviors and heroes for hope and salvation. Faith and Drugs for escape and shelter but their only real hope is to change the way they relate to one another. With differing opinions on philosophy, religion, politics, heroism and war the fight is on to determine how best to steer humanity safely towards a new generation. Violence and Harmony. Nationalism and Globalization. Christianity and Islam, Fiction and Reality, Savior and Sacrificed. A surreal and vivid exploration of man's vision for the domination of earth. Who are the real heroes of the sky? The God's, the Superheroes, or the fighter planes?' Source: http://australia.broadwayworld.com/ (Sghted 26/07/2010).
