1869. The Angel, Islington.
Below the smog-filled streets of London, a new and violent revolution is taking place. Four women - disparate in background but united by patriarchal abuse and oppression - find freedom within the four ropes of an underground boxing ring.
Competing for the title of Lady Boxing Champion of the World, the women become the talk of the capital. Blow follows blow in lightning succession as the contenders fight each other and seek to re-define 'a woman's place' in male-dominated Victorian society.
The quintessential stiff upper lip is turned bloody in this tale of pugilism, subversion and female empowerment.
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
