Family, love, loss, fear, hope, belonging, manhood and brotherhood are resounding themes of New Zealand theatre troupe Massive Company’s original production The Brave, to be shown at The Leeward Theatre at Leeward Community College on March 7. Directed by Sam Scott and Carla Martell but devised by the entire company, The Brave is a bold and honest work that interweaves the stories of eight diverse Auckland based men to share their most sincere ponderings on what it takes to be a man.

Created from true stories in Massive Company’s own style and method of devised theater, the eight actors were asked to write letters to important people—those who are, once were or perhaps never were in their lives—opening a floodgate of untold stories and survival tactics. Combining true confessions with raw athleticism, The Brave lays it all on the line.
