Flynn, the son of a failed boxer is determined not to end up like his father, so, through utter dedication becomes a successful fighter.

Shadow Boxing was a hit at the Edinburgh Festival and is hot off the heels of the Brits Off Broadway Festival in New York.

STORY MAP: WHAT I HEARD
ABOUT THE WORLD
STORY MAP
An attempt to map the entire world, alphabetically, in a day. To name every country in its own language, and to collect a story for every country, and to place it, correctly, on the map, from memory. Using cardboard, paper, pens and post-it notes, and with the help of the audience, Third Angel and mala voadora will build a portrait of the world, as it was, as it is now, and as it might be in the future.
