I'm Your Man

The more you sweat, the less you bleed.

For 18 months theatre-maker Roslyn Oades and her trusty tape recorder followed a determined, young boxer from Western Sydney through his preparations for a world-title fight.

I’m Your Man is the story of who she and her tape recorder met along the way: past legends, up-and-comers and failed contenders whose lives have been irreversibly changed by the fight game.

Enter the boxing gym: a place of dreams, of glory, of a better life, where everyone wants to be special and only one thing is certain – that no matter how high you fly you will eventually lose.

I’m Your Man
is no ordinary slice-of-life. The actors wear earpieces and take their lines directly from the ringsides, gyms and dressing rooms of Oades’ recordings. This is fuelled-up, high-stakes, real-deal theatre.

I’m Your Man
is the third of a trilogy by Oades about acts of bravery and the psychology of respect. Behind the thrilling, brutal sport lays a compelling tale of courage and its cost.

Toured by Performing Lines for Mobile States with the support of the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body and Playing Australia.
