‘I was reminded, as a man, of so many points in my own life that may have impacted my behaviour’
‘This is really powerful work. It shared the silent voices of such important life experience’
‘A really unique way of bring such a wide variety of issues to light’
‘I will remember it and it’s message for a very long time’
‘You are all so brave. Through your willingness to feel through the ‘real emotions’ of your protagonists who shared their stories.’
‘I couldn’t believe how many of the stories I related to on a personal level and with the post show discussion I realised how much it inspired me to think about, ‘What can I do?’
‘The physical theatre was great and i found there was something incredibly powerful about the men holding each other’
‘The fact these were actual stories made it all the more gratifying’
‘I’ve lost friends to suicide, 4 of them have been men. I wish they could have seen this play. I think it will help countless people and hope it’s value is appreciated enough to get the funding it needs to carry on. Thank you for bring this to life and giving meaning to something so painful that has happened to you’
‘No one Here is Me couldn't fail to be touched. Message received very loud and very clear. First class’
‘A truly wonderful performance. The content, acting and terrific presentation of the piece brought the message home about men’s mental health and the lack of knowing what’s out there to help so many. Needs to be seen.’
‘This is so useful to someone bereaved by suicide, left with questions because it’s like hearing the voice of the one gone/ a voice like this. Giving a voice to the voiceless is crucial’
‘Outstanding, eye opening, powerful performance. Verbatim is the only choice that seems appropriate for these conversations to give them voice. It means so much to hear the thoughts I have been ashamed to admit I have given voice to.’
‘Wow! Deeply, deeply moving. Beautiful and cathartic to hear men discuss their mental health. Incredible performances, perfectly and sensitively put together to create a powerful call to action’
‘Thought provoking, raw and moving. The after session was equally as touching and I would like to see this piece shown across the country’
‘Wow. The most moving and raw performance I have ever seen. This has shaped my view on male mental health. This needs to be seen by as many people as possible’
‘The physical movement and use of shadow was incredibly poignant’
‘An excellent way to tell stories, I would love to see more plays like this’
‘A mind expanding experience. Exceptional material which must be expanded to everyone. Let’s learn to listen, to mirror, to reach out. Men are tender and need to learn to be open with their truth’
‘A really unique way of bringing such a wide variety of issues to light. Beautiful, sensitive and hard as nails’
‘I was carried away into several different lives. I felt like I was with the men. I’ve not felt so moved by anything, ever.’
I love the combination of the 4 actors - their difference and their similarity, also the use of body.’
‘I’m not sure how to start this. Bit speechless really. So much heart, emotion, rawness. Very clever use of movement, light and material. Excellent actors and well put together.
‘This play was extremely powerful and I feel like many individuals feel this on a personal level. Absolutely amazing.’
‘All the stories really made me think about the support (or lack of) available through the NHS and local authorities and reflect on the improvements needed. It also made me think of people in my life that may be struggling and how I can help to speak to them’
