Ragroof present the premiere of ‘Gloves On’ - a new outdoor theatre show developed with the boxing clubs in East London.
Gloves On is an outdoor theatre show set in and around a full size, floodlit boxing ring. The show explores boxing and its place in the British psyche, conveying the emotional and physical challenges a boxer experiences.

Gloves On investigates the intricacies of courage, masculinity and honour, ritual and spectatorship. In front of a fairground style façade a barker whips up the crowd, and introduces his fighters for the evening’s spectacle. The audience are invited to take the side of the champion or challenger as the boxers display their pugilistic prowess.
