Mad(e) & Cutter Summary

Mad(e) & Cutter by Sean Burn

Between Valentine's day and first day of winter, three lads and an ancient and mischievous shapeshifter collide repeatedly. One lad carries an urn, literally unable to let go of their best friend's ashes; the second is homeless because he came out as bi; the third has no recourse to public funds. As they dodge a system that engulfs and traumatises, can the mythical and ancient beira help them still the glitch in their broken minds? An epic story of life, death, and everything in between, mad(e) is a passionate, exhilarating and uniquely theatrical commentary on masculinity and young men's mental health, co-created with boys and young men nationally. Ultimately, it is about healing, informed by the playwright's own lived-experiences.

Mad(e) & Cutter Reviews

Searingly prescient social commentary exploring masculinity, through a mythological lens. mad(e) weaves reconciliation and hope from the hostile environment that so many young men are forced to navigate. Essential. - Museum of Homelessness A voice rarely heard, if ever, in theatre. It is complex, and at times, dazzling.
