Brawn

Meet Ryan. Once a smart kid in the classroom, he is forced into a life he doesn’t want as he swaps his aspirations to explore the solar system to work for the family business. With a life he no longer recognises, a desire to take back control creeps in.

So he goes to the gym. Every day. To get the perfect physique. But what begins as a fitness drive soon becomes a dangerous and threatening obsession. A moving, heartfelt and important production exploring our powerful desire for physical perfection, and the silent struggles of the men who experience it today.

There is strong language in Brawn from the start and contains adult themes concerning sex, intercourse, and mental health. The sole actor also performs the play bare chest.
