SHADOWS is a one man play that addresses the issueof gender-based violence in the form of abuse, depression and suicides among men. The society we live in does not help men to be vulnerable or rather men themselves find it difficult to speak, because they don’t want to be tagged as weakling In our society, it is high time we sensitize the public that male folks also get abused sexually, emotionally, physically, financially as well as psychologically. The play is to encourage the men to sto pbottling up issues and letting their emotions out, masculine vulnerability is not toxic and its high time to be the human they truly are.
