CLARE PRENTON
'Prenton's gentle and sometimes beautiful play ... with three gifted actors on stage, Men Don't Talk is never less than poignant and interesting' *** Joyce Macmillan, The Scotsman.
'Clare Prenton’s script is the star managing to deliver an authentic piece of narrative whilst never straying into the misogynistic, racist clichés of people of a certain age. The direction is light enough that it feels naturalistic but strong enough that we feel we are being taken on a journey made good by very good acting. The set is...Just simply excellent... a beautifully scripted piece, And so, the interaction of poignancy on stage that we observe gets across the message in a highly creative manner. The direction is well done, and it is nice to see a director understanding the needs of her own carefully crafted characters – says a lot for Clare Prenton that she can imagine that which she is not and place it authentically upon a stage.
