"This is the weirdest piece of the theatre I’ve ever been a part of. I’m just going to tell it like it happened. "

Over the past six years, feature-length documentary Man Lessons has been in production following Adam Rohe’s transition. Now, the live show combines captivating storytelling and documentary as Rohe takes us through the wild, earnest behind-the-scenes.

A coming-of-age story that transcends the patriarchy, values wellbeing over sanity, and absolves you of the pressure to “just be yourself”.

AUDIENCE CARE: Man Lessons contains scenes of mental distress, including dysphoria, anxiety, depression, psychosis, and suicidal ideation. It also contains minor nudity and reference to alcohol misuse.

Man Lessons: The Live Show premiered at BATS Theatre in 2021, funded by Nōku te Ao: Like Minds with support from the Mental Health Foundation, and Wellington City Council’s Arts & Culture Fund.
