What Audiences are Saying

This performance was absolutely the most riveting and poignant I’ve seen in a long time. It actually affected me physically.

This performance was phenomenal. The staging was innovative. The use of lighting and body percussion added to the rhythm and drama of the piece.

I didn’t know what to expect…it far exceeded
my expectations! I’ve already suggested others to attend.

This production was one of the absolute best shows we have seen in 8 years as subscribers. The staging and choreography was fantastic. Every actor was outstanding. Truly a remarkable experience.

One of the most powerful productions I’ve seen. Did not want to leave the theater– wanted everyone else to depart after the standing ovation, to let me sit still in the space and absorb more of what I had seen.

I am so thrilled that I was able to witness such a brilliant piece of theatre. I was moved beyond words at the performance and even today. I cannot stop thinking about it.

As someone who has always hated boxing, I wasn’t sure I’d like this play, but I did. A lot. The abstract way boxing was represented was perfect!
