Mad(e) at Mast Mayflower Studios

We are all made – not mad. 

An epic story of life, death, and everything in between, Mandala Theatre are taking MAD(E) on tour from January – March.  A tale of three boys existing within hostile environments, this hard-hitting production explores the individual journeys as each attempts to heal their broken minds with the help of a mythical shapeshifter.  

Carrying their worlds in an urn, a bivvy bag, and soil from the Motherland, Mandala Theatre Company depicts three stories from different cultures, all living lives dodging a system that engulfs and traumatises them.When they are confronted with Beira – a mythical female shapeshifter – the play delves into the intricacies of their mental trauma and ways of dealing with wounds that make post-trauma growth possible. 

Developed with input from boys and young men from around the country, MAD(E) utilises physical theatre, comic chorus and poetry, in a passionate, exhilarating and uniquely theatrical commentary on masculinity and young men’s mental health.
