Arizona Theatre Company presents THE ROYALE

 

THE ROYALE

By MARCO RAMIREZ
Directed by MICHAEL JOHN GARCÉS

A power-packed boxing drama. Winner of two Obie Awards, an Outer Critics Circle Award, and a Drama Desk Award, and multiple other awards and sold out houses in London, New York and LA. The Royale is not your usual sports play. First of all, it is not really about life in the ring. Second, not a single punch will be thrown, at least not with fists. The play is a deeply theatrical and emotionally moving piece about the life of the outsider in American culture. Set in 1910, deep in the midst of Jim Crow, the story is loosely based on the life of Jack Johnson, the world’s first African-American heavy weight boxing champion. The play explores one man’s struggle while reflecting a much broader one. It is also a play about a brother and his sister – his sister, who as he climbs for glory and respect, remains his greatest adversary and strongest motivation.

“Original and graceful. The Royale packs a punch!” – The New York Times
