From award-winning company Theatr na nÓg comes a new play telling the true story of a Welsh boxing legend.
In the deprived valleys of the 1930s, boxing was more than just a sport; it was a way out of poverty. Merthyr-born Cuthbert Taylor, now seen as one of the best boxers of his generation, should have had the opportunity to fight for a British title, but was denied this chance because of the colour of his skin.
“Through its blend of artistry and advocacy, it proves that acknowledging and learning from the past is neither an uncomfortable nor passive experience. It’s also a reminder that there has been and will be bad in the world, but if we follow after and fight like Cuthbert Taylor, there will always be far more resilience, hope, and goodness.” Molly Stubbs, Nation.Cymru
