Bravado
Bravado | Scottee
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Scottee grew up around strong, brave and violent men and boys. Bravado is his memoir of working-class masculinity from 1991 to 1999 as seen by a sheep in wolves’ clothing, exploring the graphic nature of maleness and the extent it will go to succeed. Blood, spit and tears are set against the drunken backdrop of aggressive sensitivity and Oasis songs. This text is not for the weak hearted – it includes graphic accounts of violence, abuse, assault and sex.

Wow. An incredible play, and essays around it. Kind of winded by it, both in my gut and my brain. Need to sleep on and think about these powerful words and their raw, unnerving (triggering so be warned) emotive effect as Scottee discusses growing up gay in working class London and his relationships to working class men and vice versa. Not for the faint hearted but worth the experience and the thinking afterwards, which I still need to do more of.
