What I liked
With an energetic and poignant performance by David Shaughnessy, the story of Ronnie Brixton stood out to me as a story about empathy and identity. The setting is simple and the performance is engaging and packed with dimension.
What I didn't like
Parts were often drawn out longer than seemed necessary and were sometimes hard to follow with his rapid thought process shifts.
My overall impression
I think we all have something to learn from through this unique perspective told by a boxing commentator, brought up in a less accepting era than we live in now, yet struggling with some of the same issues surrounding identity we can face no matter how old we are or what circumstances we were brought up in. You can sense his shame turn into pride, and fear turn into hope by the end of this show, and this transition itself is an important story that beckons to be felt.
