Oberon Modern Plays

31 Hours

Kieran Knowles

Social Science / Sociology / Marriage & Family

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.'
