BY MARK PALMER & PHILLIP MCMAHON
GUTSY LOVE STORY
GUTSY LOVE STORY
A gutsy love story that keeps you moving forwards when you think you’re falling backwards, I’m Your Man was a musical journey from death to new life – a roadmap back from rock bottom.
You’ve overcome obstacles, battled inner demons and had your heart smashed into a million pieces in order to seek out the true love of your life – a love that you always felt but never believed possible; a love that you always hoped for but never dared acknowledge, for fear of what it might ask of you. Can love bring us back to life?
Music and theatre collided in this intimate and poignant world premier from Phillip McMahon (writer of Alice in Funderland) and Mark Palmer (songwriter with the band Life After Modelling). It featured a cast of live musician actors in a show that told through song, the story of Matthew’s journey from death to new life.
I’m Your Man premiered at Dublin Theatre Festival 2015, playing a sold out season at Project Arts Centre.
“An intense, earnest, and hybrid piece of gig—theatre
Theirishtimes “…a raw and bristling portrait of heartache and psychological trauma…half play, half live concert musical, it is an ambitious new telling of a familiar story.”
NOMOREWORKHORSE“…nothing short of jaw-dropping.!”
