Panel discussion around detoxifying masculinity, during All My Sons.
Man up. Boys don't cry. Grow a pair.
Suicide is the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK today*, and male suicides account for roughly three quarters of all suicides in the country. Mental health charities suggest this is, in a large part, down to the social pressure on men to show their mental and physical strength and to keep their emotions to themselves.
With more and more men in the public eye coming forward to counter these potentially damaging stereotypes our notion of masculinity is slowly changing. But what is this so-called 'toxic masculinity', where does it come from and how does it affect our society as a whole?
Alongside this spring's production of Arthur Miller's All My Sons, a play in which masculinity means fighting for your country or going to any lengths to provide for your family, this Voices Off panel discussion will look at what it really means to be a man in the twenty-first century.
Panellist line up to be announced.
