Bitch Boxer

by Charlie Josephine

Overview

Bitch Boxer was the winner of the Holden Street Theatres Awards 2013 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Meet Chloe, 21 from Leytonstone. She likes the simple things in life: cherry sambuca, hairbrush-in-the-mirror karaoke with Rihanna and winding her Dad up. Oh, and she's a boxer.

London, 2012. Women will step into the Olympic boxing ring for the very first time. And it's in Stratford. Down the road. As Chloe trains for the fight of her life, she is left winded by two life-changing events. In a man's world, can she prove she's still worth the title?

Editorial Reviews

"Sweat-slick and tough, yet sweet and gifted with terrific timing." -London Times

"Sparkily written, feistily performed." - Evening Standard

"An immediate reaction to the way society perceives how women should look and what they should do, [Bitch Boxer] has been pummelled and punched into a near-perfect piece of writing, but it still retains a healthy dose of that raw anger." - Daily Telegraph

"Captures the excitement and vulnerability of youth on the brink of adulthood. The writing is fully alive." - Guardian
