For actor Gary Trainor, the experience Liam goes through is not something that only applies to boxers.<\/p>\n
Trainor, who plays gym owner Marty as well as several other roles, said suddenly losing something which has been central to your life could happen in many different circumstances.<\/p>\n
“He’s been so engrossed in the world of boxing for his entire life, to lose it in one injury and to try and figure out his life after that is, I think, probably universal in a lot of men’s lives,” he said.<\/p>\n
“That could be maybe losing a job, anything like that.”<\/p>\n
Trainor described the play as “full of heart and humour” and said he hoped it would “make a few lads think”.<\/p>\n
For him, its message is a straightforward one – that “men should talk to each other a bit more about what they are feeling and how they are processing things”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For actor Gary Trainor, the experience Liam goes through is not something that only applies to boxers.
