TWO MEN TALKING

Written and performed by Paul Browde and Murray Nossel

"Storytelling is a powerful medium for communication. Especially in situations where the message is too painful, too embarrassing, too secret to speak it. Storytelling can then become a journey to the truth. I commend their commitment and courage." Archbishop Desmond Tutu

In 1974, in Johannesburg, a teacher asked two rival schoolboys to tell one another a story. Three decades later Murray Nossel, an Academy-Award(R) nominated filmmaker, and Paul Browde, a psychiatrist, meet by chance in New York and set out to transform the world through storytelling.

Two Men Talking is about friendship and about listening. It is about apology and forgiveness and hatred and love. It is about fear and death and courage and life.

With startling honesty Paul and Murray talk of growing up white, middle class and privileged under apartheid. Moving, emotional, funny and life-affirming, this is a unique and powerful piece of theatre.

Reviews

Scotsgay
"I've never felt so alive during a stage performance. Utterly beautiful."

Metro
"Storytelling is of course an art and the two men talking in this emotional journey through their lives are masters. But Two Men Talking isn't about the art so much as the redemptive power of the act."

*****
"A show that cannot be missed. If you do, you will lose the opportunity to have your life changed for the better, even if just for a bit. "

The Stage
"Some stories have to be told and one as amazing as the way the lives of Paul Browde and Murray Nossel have wrapped themselves around each other is fascinating to hear."
