What did Donald Trump and Brexit have in common?

It would seem it was the support of a large number of white working class men who feel let down by the establishment and are fighting back.

Manpower at Theatre Royal Winchester on Sunday 20 November takes an angry but also funny romp through what has happened to British men in the last four decades since the UK joined the EU.

The loss of industry combined with globalisation has left many men without a purpose. They have gone from building ships to putting together an IKEA flatpack. In Two Destination Language’s new show, a British man Alister takes solace in building a shed and nostalgically playing the vinyls that provided the soundtrack of the last 40 years.

Kat is a Bulgarian woman. With an outsider’s perspective, can she see more clearly what has led us to today’s situation where expectations of masculinity are in flux?

Manpower places the audience on the frontline of the battle for power by those men who are struggling to find a role in today’s Britain.

Two Destination Language’s previous production Near Gone won a Total Theatre Award.

Manpower performs at Theatre Royal Winchester on Sunday 20 November at 7.30pm.
