Overview

What happens when you have to clean up the worst day of someone else’s life? Every 31 Hours someone takes their own life on the U.K rail network. It is ten times more likely to be a man. 31 Hours is the story of four men who clean up the aftermath of rail suicides. It is about the slippery reality of mental health and the inability to communicate issues. The play is an analysis of the choice and an exploration of the consequences. Filled with humour and humanity it explores four men's inability to talk about their emotions and the consequence of their silence. '100 years ago the biggest killer of young men was war, now they kill themselves.' NOMINATED FOR 'MOST PROMISING NEW PLAYWRIGHT' AT THE 2017 OFFWESTEND AWARDS

31 Hours isnt for the faint-hearted. Hearing the stories behind the jumpers will leave you shocked, moved, even traumatised, but there is a lot of warmth and black humour in the groups relationship to offset its darkest moments. 31 Hours is well-written, deeply absorbing & tackles a delicate subject with an emotional sensitivity.'
