BRENDAN COWELL’S MEN

Brendan Cowell’s Men first premiered at the Old Fitz Theatre back in 2000, and it re-emerges on that exact stage this year.
The play focuses on three completely different stereotypes of men and the way they interact with each other. It stars Sean Hawkins, Ben O’Toole, Jamie Timony and Cheree Cassidy.

Ben O’Toole plays Crazy Bob – he is the male stereotype of the aggressive, testosterone-fuelled man. O’Toole enjoys the character because he is such a complicated man. “Crazy Bob is fascinating,” he said. “There’s so much going on with this guy, there’s serious stuff going on with Crazy Bob.”

This isn’t the first Brendan Cowell production O’Toole has been involved in. He has also starred in Sublime, Ruben Guthrie and Mojo. In addition to his role in Men, he is currently filming the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie with Johnny Depp. Unfortunately, he couldn’t give any information out, as it’s all hush-hush.
