Spiegelworld, the creators of the immersive events Absinthe and Empire, will hold a workshop and private presentation of their latest work, Heroes, at St. Ann's Warehouse later this month. Impresario extraordinaire Ross Mollison and his company have been developing Heroes for the past two years with British director and choreographer Steven Hoggett (The Crucible) and Irish playwright Enda Walsh (Lazarus).

Heroes is described as follows: "Taking audiences behind the scenes at a glamorous hotel, Heroes checks into the secret lives of bellboys, chambermaids, concierges, and guests, each of them a hero, as their stories intersect across physical space and time."

The cast will feature Geoff Sobelle as the Concierge, Marcy Richardson as the Diva, Aidan O'Shea as the Husband, Dreya Weber as the Wife, and Lisa Natoli as the Old Chambermaid.
