An exhilarating play about human triumph, ambition, self-doubt, and pride, set in the world of boxing.
Mickey and his team of cornermen never have much luck in the boxing world. Until, that is, they sign a young fighter whose winning ways catapult them to a level they've never known before.
Cornermen by Oli Forsyth was first seen at the Old Red Lion Theatre, London, in 2015 before playing at the Pleasance Courtyard, the New Diorama Theatre, and the Otherplace, Brighton. It was selected for the 2016 VAULT Festival, London. It is also available in the volume Plays from VAULT.
