Armed with her tape recorder, theatre director Roslyn Oades spent months following the stories of up-and-coming boxers, past legends and failures. Wearing earpieces, Oades' actors speak their lines directly from her carefully edited recordings from those ringsides, gyms and dressing rooms. the dreams of glory or escape in this boxing ring are real. No ordinary slice of life, this is fuelled-up, high-stakes theatre, up-close in this intimate venue - and with truly original voices.
