MAN BITS - Men! Words! Knitting! Therapy for the penis! Wow! An expose of what it is to be a man in twenty-first century New Zealand.
Four men 'double-stitch" themselves up in the unusual situation of a men's knitting group and discover more than they bargained for. Gender role reversal, monogamy, sexism, fatherhood, modern-day education, empowerment and the challenge to express man feelings; friendship, relationships, careers and coming to grips with their man bits.
And if that wasn't enough, "slip-stitched" into
Man Bits is a play within the play called
Penis - The Musical, a biological "needle gauge" measuring what's manly in this masculine theatrical "tapestry".
