My Brother, My Brother, My Brother.

A play for our sons that celebrates the forgotten beauty of masculinity.

Three young men wake up on a small disabled fishing boat, that is drifting further and further out to sea. All their phones are missing, the radio has been broken, and they cannot see land nor any search planes or boats. It appears they were drugged and have now woken up alone and in a perilous situation.

Initially the play appears to be a simple survival story, but as time passes the play lifts a mirror and asks us all one question: If we treat, or do nothing as the state treats our young men, the ones who will breed the new generation of Australians, as if they should be ashamed of their very existence, what do you think will happen to their souls?
The play is funny, tense, and full of colourful language, and it is also explores the qualities of courage, stoicism and mateship.

Since the characters are all heroic, my dream is that people would bring their sons to the theatre, and their sons would feel that just by listening to these three young men, that they are also being heard.
