Men suffer just as much as women however it appears that women are less inhibited in the act of crying than men. In this work I am exploring the relationship that men have with crying: emotional suppression versus expression. Men are not as free in shedding tears due to our pervasive cultural and social ideas about manliness.

As an actor my profession forces me to express feelings on command. As a boy I was told, “Boy’s Don’t Cry”. Boys are effectively detached from their emotions and feelings; this emotional cost exacted by our culture turns emotionally whole little boys into emotionally debilitated men. For me, to study drama was a way to reconnect with my emotions and feelings again, to be free. With this piece I want to shed the tears that all the men have held back through the ages.
