Regional Premiere coproduction with Olney Theatre Center
Jay “The Sport” Jackson dreams of being the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, but in the racially segregated world of boxing in 1905, the odds are stacked against him. When a crooked boxing promoter hatches a plan for “the fight of the century,” “The Sport” might land a place in the ring with the reigning white heavyweight champion. Inspired by the real-life experiences of Jack Johnson, the first African-American heavyweight world champion,
The Royale
“captures both the beautiful frenzy of boxing and the (sadly still relevant) volatile state of race relations in America” (
The Telegraph
).
