In “Enter Achilles”, there is no room for individual desires to be confused with peer pressure and the need to conform.

In Enter Achilles, there is no room for individual desires to be confused with peer pressure and the need to conform. Anything that threatens individual integrity is considered socially unacceptable : over-sentimentality, a longing for intimacy, displays of tenderness.

“What constitute masculinity ? Our premise is to show how feelings, thoughts and actions deemed to be “unmanly” are hidden by men only to manifest themselves, albeit subliminally, in other ways.
Men have historically oppressed women, but the question explored here is : how oppressive havemen been to themselves”, says Lloyd Newson of his most successful work.
