SHADOW BOXING Plays Marlowe Studio Tonight

A POWERFUL one-man play tackling hard-hitting issues comes to The Marlowe Studio.

The son of a boxer who couldn't win, Flynn is determined not to end up like his father. He becomes a successful fighter through utter dedication. But is his gruelling training a way of avoiding aspects of himself he'd rather not face? A crisis builds as he moves closer to a title fight, and the play rushes to a shattering conclusion.

Shadow Boxing presents a struggle for dignity and respect. It pulls no punches in its depiction of a boxer facing his toughest opponents yet: his personal demons.

This story of a boxer's struggle with his sexuality is presented by Cross Cut, who have toured to critical acclaim in the UK and New York.

Shadow Boxing is at The Marlowe Studio at 8pm tonight 24 September. Tickets cost £12 (concessions and Discovery Tickets available; booking fees apply). To book, call the Box Office on 01227 787787 or marlowetheatre.com. The show contains strong language, themes of an adult nature and is suitable for ages 14 and over.
