And we're looking for venues!

Seven years ago Drinking Lizard Productions for The MensWork Project produced Australian author Chris Dickins’ THE MEN as part of Men's Health Week in a three week season touring venues from Scarborough to Subiaco, from Rockingham to Kalamunda and Fremantle.

Seven years later, Fred Lawson one of the original cast, was approached by an audience member, the owner of a Northbridge venue, asking if the play could be restaged for a single performance on 2 October 2010. It sounded like a lot of effort, but we (Carmelo Lenzo, Fred Lawson, Peter Fry, Conrad Crisafulli and I) are hoping we can find a few companies around town that might allow us to perform in their space for a night or two around that date so that we might put the band back together!

The set is four bar stools with minimal sound and lighting. The simple staging requirements mean that the play can be, and has been, performed in a foyer or function room, on a small thrust stage in
front of a house curtain, or even on stage between rehearsals in front of another set still under construction!
