DIARY OF SOMEBODY

DIARY OF SOMEBODY

WEBSTER's unemployed. He's a loser, a waste of time, so his girlfriend tells him time and time again. Normal people get a job… look after their family, feed them, put a roof over their heads.
But Webster's heard it all before. How many times can you hear the same thing before you begin believing it? But today he's going to make them all sit up and listen. And this time he's going to win.
As the historical balance of the sexes changes dramatically the psychological, social and economic growth of Women, highlights the decline in the Male position in today’s society, resulting in a void which some Men find increasingly difficult to fill.
Featuring the talented Sharon Duncan-Brewster from Bad Girls (Granada TV) and directed by one of Britain’s brightest young black directors, Diary of Somebody attempts to explore the phenomenon of “male disenfranchisement” as we enter the third Millenium.
