PRESS
“Packs a punch…A boldly arresting new solo show…elevated by the skillful use of video and especially Suli Holum’s transfixing portrayal of the prizefighter, alternately brooding and explosive.”
-Don Aucoin, The Boston Globe
“Fresh and new…where theatre is going now. The actress is phenomenal…captivating.”
– Boston Public Radio – Morning Edition
