Ep 241: Anger, manhood, and y'mam: with Majid Mehdizadeh / Luke Jerdy
Mar 07, 2022, 06:00 AM
Writer Majid Mehdizadeh (aka Actor Luke Jerdy)'s new show about anger is about to hit the road for a UK Tour.
In Y'MAM (Young man's angry movements) he traces the origin of his own personal struggles with anger and probes the unspoken anxieties, desires, and fantasies of male anger, inviting us to join him on his journey to a new modern ‘manhood’, as he battles with the invisible hierarchy that exists amongst men. How does anger affect both men and the lives of those around them?
What are the alternatives to anger, and how can we make people more aware of them?
After a highly successful run at Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre in June 2021, the show begins its tour with engagement workshops at The Old Electric (Blackpool), UCLAN (Preston) and Dukes Lancaster (14-20 March) before the main tour begins at Arts Depot (london, 24 March), Northern Statge (Newcastle, 25/26 March), before a week at Soho Theatre, (London, 24 May - 4 June).
