Victorian women, hellbent on winning. Grab a ringside seat for the fight of their lives.
Four women from very different walks of life collide in their ambition to become the first Lady Boxing Champion of the World. But what does it mean to win in a world where a woman is expected to stay in her corner?
Their real fight is not with each other. With each blow, they battle against society’s expectations and risk everything for the right to make their own choices. Grab a ringside seat for the fight of their lives.
Joy Wilkinson’s knockout play takes a swing at Victorian society and packs a powerfully modern punch.
“This full-blooded play exploring the little-known world of Victorian women’s boxing is a knockout… a contender with guts and brains. Fascinating”
The Times
"One of the best new plays I have seen in years… Wonderful."
