About World of Men
World Of Men is a musical by Brendan FitzGerald and Tim Neal that asks the hardest question about men’s violence against women and their children:
‘Who makes the dark places where men CHOOSE to hurt their families?’
It follows a man as he travels with his two abducted children towards this dark place and asks how Australian society provides the circumstances where violence against women and their children can occur … and what Australian society can do to prevent it.
