Riverside Productions and Steady Lads, by Don Reid
Codgers … everybody either knows one, is related to one, lives with one – or is one!
Eavesdrop on six senior Aussie blokes as they sweat it out in the gym. Amidst the back strain and biceps, the jokes and the secrets, 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!
Women see their husbands, adult children see their fathers, grandchildren see grandad and the senior Australian male sees himself: whether he be a WWII veteran, full of jokes and denial; a spry young lad of sixty; scared and starting to lose it at seventy, or Asian and still on the outer at eighty.
Don Reid was a permanent member of the Ensemble Theatre for 25 years. Codgers was inspired by his real life get-togethers at the gym with his card-carrying codger mates.
