<H3><SPAN>Man. Up. Man-Up.<BR></SPAN><SPAN>Literally, what do you mean?<BR></SPAN><SPAN>Is this how I walk as a man, or stand? Or do I do it like this?<BR></SPAN><SPAN>Please fucking tell me what that instruction means!'<BR></SPAN>________________________________________________________<BR><BR>Every 31 hours someone takes their own life by jumping in front of a train, they are ten times more likely to be a man.</H3>
<H3>“31 Hours” is the story of four men who clean up after rail suicides. It is a story of four men at work. Four men at home. Four men dealing with their own lives. Their own problems. Dealing with them in their own way. On their own. Silently. It is a story of four men failing to talk.<BR>________________________________________________________</H3>
<H3><SPAN>Our Cast of Emerging Artists includes:<BR></SPAN>Matthew Blaney, Richard McFerran, Rob Crawford and Jonny Everett.<BR>________________________________________________________</H3>
<H3>More people have taken their own lives in Northern Ireland since the Good Friday Agreement than were killed in political violence during the Troubles. Statistics show that is more likely to be a male who commits suicide.</H3>
<H3>At Pintsized Productions we are looking to present a production which addresses themes which are not normally explored in theatre culture. We are looking at teaming up with mental health support and suicide prevention charities to provide a catalyst for conversation and awareness.</H3>

<H3><SPAN>Damian Smyth, Head of Drama at the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, said:</SPAN></H3>
<H3><SPAN></SPAN><EM>“The Arts Council of Northern Ireland is delighted to support this new production by Pintsized Productions, a local theatre company with an exciting reputation for vital and responsive theatre. ’31 Hours’ does what good theatre can do, opening up complex issues such as masculinity, mental health, suicide and its aftermath, to reveal, with disarming humour, humanity and candour, the human stories behind the statistics.”</EM></H3>
