TINDERBOX Theatre Company will place the often taboo issue of men’s mental health under the microscope when they bring their ground-breaking musical comedy ‘The Man Who Fell To Pieces’ to the Alley Theatre, Strabane next week.The acclaimed play tells the story of John who is falling apart, literally.
