Men Don't Talk: shed-based theatre

Readers with fine memories will recall we previously mentioned this play Men Don't Talk constructed in collaboration with the Scottish Men's Sheds Assocation a couple of years ago, so we're delighted to be able to let you know it's up, running, and touring. For more details click here. Here's what they say about it:

Three men who have never met before find banter, bird boxes and biscuits in a fictional men's shed, which celebrates camaraderie, companionship.....and custard creams. Men Don't Talk explores and explodes the myth that 'men don't talk' in Clare Prenton's poignant, hilarious and deeply moving, thought provoking play. Written following cups of tea, cake and spirited conversations with real ‘shedders’, the play welcomes audiences into a friendly fictional shed, inspired by real mens’ stories.
