Josh O’Connor leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic. 1930s New York, at the height of the Depression, a gifted young violinist is lured into the brutal world of professional boxing. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice and who he’s willing to become in a world that demands he choose a side. Brought to life with a live string quartet and filmed live from the Almeida Theatre, this propulsive drama explores ambition, identity, and the high price of success.
