Description
"Since 1968, when the first draft of the earliest play in this collection was written, Martin Duberman has been nagged by the question 'What does it mean to be a 'man'?' Each of these plays shows how men in our culture have learned to protect themselves by adopting stereotypic masculine roles, their 'male armor.' The author, in the Introduction, relates this idea to Wilhelm Reich's broader concept of 'character armot' - 'the devices we use (which then use us) to protect ourselves from our own energy, and especially from our sexual energy.'" --From Back Cover
