On stage across Leeds - The play exploring men’s mental health and the culture of silence
The Parting Glass is a new production by Leeds-based playwright Chris O’Connor for the Red Ladder Theatre Company and is being staged at various venues across the city in September and October.
Playwright Chris O’Connor said: “I wrote The Life and Soul as a short 30-minute one-man play through the perspective of Jim, who hides his experiences of depression from those around him. Red Ladder often toured it with a Q&A after the performance and we’ve received feedback from people who unfortunately have had direct experience of the subject matter.
