    About this ebook

    Adapted from the myth of Thyestes, Blush of Dogs traces one woman’s battle with oppression and repressive cycles, feverishly driven to break free of the vortex of hateful love that binds together two hostile brothers. Inspired by the conflict of freedoms and the crisis of identity, private feuds teem in the shadows of intense public scrutiny.

    A visceral, playful and raucous piece about mental health, 5 out of 10 Men plunges deep into the pitfalls of modern masculinity. Rooted in true experiences and deep exploration, it invites us to be open, to journey unabashedly into ourselves, as one wounded man weaves a confessional hymn to his dead brother, a new consciousness blooming as he is torn between the man he is and the man he strives to be.

    Image and poetic clash and synthesise, physical and raw and visceral, the painfully comic and the laughably tragic. Themes of loneliness and solitude, family and friendship, sex, death and miscommunication play out in raucously funny worlds built not on logic but on metaphor and subjective hallucinations.

    Roland Reynolds

    Artistic Director of Fragen Theatre Company, Roland Reynolds specialises in theatre of the extreme, physical, political and relentless. Known to be “poetic” and “verbose”, he's been accused of “ambition, rawness, and a willingness for excess”. Before 5 out of 10 Men went to the Edinburgh Fringe (2016), his critically acclaimed production Blush of Dogs (2015) at the Tabard theatre followed murder-mystery-cannibal-thrillerdream-play Planter’s Island (2014). He trained at Drama Centre, worked with Chicago’s Sideshow Theater Company, and aged 16 wrote and directed plays at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Stalemate (2008) and Man Pursued (2009).
