The arc of the evening really took me by surprise. I went in expecting one angle and came out getting another – and that was good. David’s performance was stunning. The ending was a very satisfying and appropriate catharsis for everything that had happened.
What I didn't like
It’s strange to me that this is in the Ensemble Theatre category.
I think this show did exactly what it set out to do, and for that I don’t have any real critiques to point out.
My overall impression
To be clear: you do not need to know a thing about boxing to enjoy this show. Much like the best sports movies, the sport is only a frame against which interesting drama is set against. David totally disappears into the role of Ronnie and I was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns the story took.
