Are men redefining their emotional intelligence?

Is everyone really aping the chant of 'more masculinity' in 2025? Really? Not everyone's convinced, let alone playwright and actor Paul Morris whose latest work-in-progress 'Best Friends' takes a poignant and humorous take on male friendship. 'Best Friends' at Rich Mix, 7.30pm, Saturday 8 March. Part of Afro Futures Festival, presented by Certain Blacks. Feature written by Paul Morris. The intra-relationships of men and their perceptions of themselves, is among the many enigmas in our society.
