About The Event
Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre.
Set in 1930s New York, at the height of the Depression, the story follows Joe Bonaparte, a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become, and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.
