A powerful new digital‑theatre production exploring online masculinity and misogyny is coming to East End Park in Dunfermline this April.

This is thanks to a unique partnership between Civic Digits, Fife Violence Against Women Partnership (FVAWP), Fife Council and Dunfermline Athletic Football Club (DAFC).

Many Good Men has been co‑created with S2 pupils from Dunfermline High School, who took part in a series of educational and creative workshops facilitated by Clare Duffy from Civic Digits. These workshops were supported by local CLD youth work and Youth Space staff, who were pivotal in encouraging conversation which has shaped the storyline and themes explored in the production.

As part of the process, the young people also had the opportunity to meet DAFC players to discuss what it means to be a positive role model in their community; a highlight of the project for many of the pupils. DAFC’s support in making this happen was greatly appreciated and further strengthened the connection between the club and local young people.

The performances will take place at DAFC, marking the latest outcome of an ongoing partnership between FVAWP and the club to promote equality and challenge misogyny across the local community.

Laura Pearson, Co‑ordinator of Fife Violence Against Women Partnership, first saw Many Good Men performed in Edinburgh and immediately recognised its relevance and impact for young people in Fife. Laura said: “When I saw the production in Edinburgh, I found it powerful, important and deeply timely,” she said. “I was keen to bring it to Fife, and that’s when conversations began with Civic Digits, Dunfermline High School, CLD staff and DAFC about how we could make it happen here. Seeing it now come to life with pupils’ own voices and ideas at the heart of it is incredibly meaningful.”

Dunfermline High School has a strong and well‑established Mentors in Violence Prevention programme, which aligns closely with the themes explored in Many Good Men. The production poses questions about community responsibility, the pressures shaping boys’ lives, and practical steps that can be taken to challenge misogyny and harmful online influences.

The collaboration behind Many Good Men demonstrates the strength and potential of partnership working in Fife, with youth services, education, the arts and local sport all joining together to support positive change.

“By working together, we can create more awareness and more opportunities to tackle misogyny,” added Laura. “This project is a clear example of what can be achieved when organisations come together with a shared purpose.”

Performances take place at East End Park on Thursday 2 and Friday 3 April 2026. Tickets and further information are available via Civic Digits.
