My avant-garde theatre company Heckselsior! is currently working on our new production entitled Hardcross. It is the story of Rodney Hardcross, one of the most successful businessmen of his time - but a cold and distant father. His children, uptight Philip, rebellious artist Martin and dutiful Joyce feared him. When his death is announced, his children reluctantly gather at the family house to prepare for the funeral - and to receive their inheritance. However, before his testament can be revealed, Rodney has one final request that makes everyone ill at ease. In this tense atmosphere, buried conflicts and frustrations come to the fore, shameful secrets are revealed, and masks crumble.
Heckcelsior is a newly formed international theatre company with a passion for telling stories that entertain while also holding up a mirror to society. We are influenced by the absurdity of life, and the various challenges of the modern world, but we also have a sense of optimism for the future. Theatre is our means of influencing positive changes in our audiences, and thus working towards a better future. We are excited about making our début.
