It’s rare to see theatre as immediate, sweaty and full of life and emotion as this… Don’t miss it. The Sun-Herald
Roslyn Oades & Company presents I'm Your Man
Sharp, entertaining documentary theatre that delivers a knockout punch
For 18 months theatre-maker Roslyn Oades and her trusty tape recorder followed a determined young boxer from Western Sydney through his preparations for a world-title fight. I’m Your Man is the story of who she met along the way: past legends, up-and-comers and failed contenders whose lives have been irreversibly changed by the fight game.
A sweaty, energy-fuelled study of masculinity, I’m Your Man is a compelling tale of courage and its cost. Using an innovative headphone-verbatim technique, the actors are able to speak the words of real-life boxing legends, transporting you into the boxer's world of sweaty gyms and back-stage dressing rooms.
