Men Don’t Talk - a play by Clare Prenton
Three men find banter, bird boxes and biscuits in a fictional men’s shed, which celebrates companionship, camaraderie ... and custard creams. Clare Prenton’s poignant, hilarious, moving and thought-provoking play, Men Don’t Talk, explores the myth that ‘men don’t talk’.
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. Presented in conjunction with the Scottish Mens Shed Association, the play has been praised in the Scottish Parliament for promoting the benefits of this growing mental health and wellbeing movement - vital in Scotland today.
