“Controlled by men and constrained by corsets, each finds an unexpected freedom in the boxing ring,” according to the play’s description. “As their lives begin to intertwine, their journey takes us through grand drawing rooms, bustling theatres and rowdy Southwark pubs, where the women fight inequality as well as each other. But with the final showdown approaching, only one can become the Lady Boxing Champion of the World.”
The shows will take place at East View High School located at 4490 East University Avenue in Georgetown, at 7 PM each of the three nights. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased by clicking here.
