One-man-show hopes to 'break down barriers' with mental illness

Audience should expect engagement says lead actor

One man's struggle with his mental health will be brought to the stage as a piece of performance art over the next two nights.

'The Funny Thing About Depression' which stars actor Lorcan O'Mahoney, will tell of the 'terrible' moments from his life, following diagnosis of the illness.

Tickets are available here on the Isle of Man Arts Council website for both tonight and tomorrow's show which begin at 7.30pm.
