Tonight is the last night of the Turnaround season. It has been a fantastic experience to perform at the Project alongside such wonderful shows. Every single night of the run has sold out and we even got a standing ovation. Our thanks again to ABSOLUT Fringe and Project Arts Centre for the support. This show continue to resonate with so many people and we are very proud of it. We hope to take it to your corner of the globe, wherever you may be, so get in touch if you can get three men touring. No matter what, the future is full of possibilities and is looking bright!
One of the three men, Kalle Ryan, took part in a really great interview with Kate Dempsey on www.writing.ie last week. During the course of the interview he chatted about poetry, performance and the writing process for Three Men Talking About Things They Kinda Know About.
The interview contains some great insights for new writers as well as some thoughtful responses to poetic questions. Well worth a read!
We are extremely proud to announce that the script of our show has finally been printed, bound and delivered. It looks stunning and we will be selling it at our upcoming run of shows in the Project on April 18th, 19th and 27th. For a mere 10 EURO you can get your hands on it. We will happily sign it and generally chat about it to you as well. For those of you further afield in search of a copy, we are working on a way to get it to you. Stay tuned to this space.
Just to let you know, tickets are selling extremely fast for our show. So if you are thinking about seeing the show in the Turnaround season then grab a ticket now to avoid crushing disapppointment later. There are four other top drawer shows in the season and there’s deals in place to catch a mix of three or all five. Either way, tickets are selling fast, so please don’t delay
LET ME PICK UP A TICKET RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
A brand new promo video has been launched by Project Arts Centre and ABSOLUT Fringe for the TURNAROUND rep season. Load of cool deals in place to catch the whole season. If you pick up a ticket before April 5th you can save 25%. We are happy to report that tickets for our show are selling extremely well, with over a third of tickets already gone. So, grab one while you still can!
I WILL CLICK HERE AND BUY TICKETS RIGHT NOW!
We are well into rehearsals for our upcoming restaging of “Three Men Talking About Things They Kinda Know About”. It is such a buzz knowing that we will get to bring our words back to the world on such a great stage in such good company.
We are proud to have been selected as one of five different shows from fringes past to form this rep season of work at the Project. There are great deals in place to get tickets for all five of them or indeed you can do a pick-n-mix deal for a handful of them. Either way, we encourage you to support them all and you can find out more about them here: projectartscentre.ie/turnaround
“Three Men Talking About Things They Kinda Know About” will be on April 18th, 19th and 27th. For more info and ticketing options please clickety click here — Three Men Talking :Turnaround Info & Tickets
Please spread the word, we need your support for this groundbreaking season of work. Cheers!
We already have a Facebook page that you all really like and we are happy to say that you can now keep up with us on Twitter too. Follow us and we will follow you right back like a teenage crush.
We are thrilled to announce that Project Arts Centre and ABSOLUT Fringe have teamed up to create Turn Around, a season of 5 remarkable shows from past fringe festivals. Each show is a knockout and I am delighted to say that our award nominated show Three Men Talking AboutThings They Kinda Know About will be part of the groundbreaking event. Our show will be on 18th, 19th and 27th April and you can pick up tickets below. There are all kinds of cool deals to see the entire season of work too, so please support these great artists and this cool event.
The show has come to the end of a remarkable run at ABSOLUT Fringe. When we embarked upon this project we had aspirations and hopes for it, but we couldn’t have anticipated the amazing end result. We are immensely proud of what we have achieved.
Not only did we receive a nomination for the “Little Gem” Fringe Festival award (a staggering achievement in its own right), but we also got a stunning four star review in The Irish Times from Sara Keating. We consider both of these to be a massive honour and are thrilled to be recognised so positively for our work. Not bad for a bunch of ABSOLUT Fringe first timers!
As well as that, every single night of the show was sold out. That blows us away. In a time when people have less money to spend, this show of support meant a huge amount to us all. It was extremely inspiring to see faces old and new every single night at the show. Thanks to you all for being there and sharing in the experience.
In response to the work itself, we received effusive praise, poetic responses and standing ovations. It was profoundly humbling to see that our very personal stories resonated so deeply with so many of you. It took a lot to get up there each night but the response gave us so much back.
The three men up on stage was only part of the story though. We are hugely indebted to our brilliant director, Sarah Brennan, who took a leap of faith in working with us three poets and gave shape to such a powerful piece of drama on the stage. It was a real honour to work with her.
Thanks are also due to our wonderful partners and families who formed part of the stories onstage, as well as supporting us through the many months of writing and rehearsing the show. Without them we would have been adrift. Our love to all of them.
So, what now? Well, we will take some well earned rest and spend some quality time with our loved ones. We will then assess what our options are and perhaps take the show back out there to the public again. Stay tuned to this blog and our respective places and spaces on the web for more information. Three men will talk again…

We are incredibly happy and honoured to have been nominated for the “Bewley’s Café Theatre ‘Little Gem’ Award”. The ceremony takes place tonight (Sunday Sept 25th) and we look forward to meeting our fellow ABSOLUT Fringe nominees and looking back at an incredible festival. The experience of writing and performing this show has been really incredible for us all and we are touched that it has resonated so deeply with all of you. Thanks to everyone who came to see the show and keep your fingers crossed for us!
