Shadow Boxing

Daniel Newton stars in Shadow Boxing, directed by Mdu Kweyama and written by James Gaddas, a heavy-hitting one-man show coming to the Fringe this year. Newton has just been awarded a coveted Fleur Du Cap Theatre Award for Best Performance in a Revue, Cabaret or One-Person Show. Alone on a stage adorned with nothing but a metal bucket, a punching-bag, a worn pair of boxing gloves and a suit jacket, the character Flynn tells us his story, weaving his gut-wrenching narrative through his cruel childhood, his rise to boxing stardom, and his tragic fall from grace.
