"The Royale" a Play in Six Rounds
Set in the boxing world of the early 1900s, The Royale is loosely inspired by Jack Johnson, the first black pop culture icon and reigning world heavyweight champion from 1908 to 1915. The Royale is muscular, musical, kinetic: six intense rounds of riveting storytelling punctuated by syncopated dialogue and emotional right hooks. You’ve never seen, heard or felt a play like this.
