Set in a floodlit boxing ring, Ragroof Theatre present this physical theatre performance, investigating the intricacies of courage and honour, ritual and spectatorship. The show explores boxing and its place in the British psyche, conveying the emotional, physical and psychological challenge of a boxer’s experience.

Stories of boxers and their families collide in the ring to a pumping soundtrack with live rapping, against a backdrop of urban art. The visceral atmosphere progresses from arcane funfair to the contemporary; pounding break-beats fill the space as the fighters enter the ring to the raucous delight of the crowd.

The battle commences.
