Frantic Assembly & NTS to Revive BEAUTIFUL BURNOUT for Tour of Wales and England this Autumn

This Autumn, Frantic Assembly and The National Theatre of Scotland will revive their hugely successful production of Beautiful Burnout by Bryony Lavery - a thrilling piece of highly physical theatre that immerses the audience in the explosive world of boxing. Beautiful Burnout's UK tour will begin at the Theatre Royal, Plymouth on Wednesday 3 October 2012, and continue to Warwick, London, Cardiff, Dundee, Leeds, Newcastle, Southampton and Hull.

This award-winning collaboration between Frantic Assembly and National Theatre of Scotland will assault your senses and challenge your preconceptions about the most controversial sport of our time.

The return of Beautiful Burnout with The National Theatre of Scotland will cap a unique hat-trick for Frantic Assembly, who will have worked with all three of the UK's National Theatres in one calendar year. Little Dogs, a co-production with National Theatre Wales, will open in Swansea in May 2012, while The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time will open at The National Theatre in London in July 2012.

Beautiful Burnout will feature the music of Underworld.

Written by award-winning playwright Bryony Lavery, Beautiful Burnout premiered at the Pleasance, Edinburgh, in August 2010, to huge public and critical acclaim. It also toured to America, Australia and New Zealand. This is the first UK revival.
