Gypsy Queen
AWARD-winning writer Rob Ward’s play Gypsy Queen is coming to York Theatre Royal next month.
The play tells a love story about two men who find each other in the most unlikely world - the world of professional boxing.
George O’Connell is a bare knuckle fighter from a traveller family.
A hero to his people and self-proclaimed Gypsy King, George enters the world of professional boxing, putting him on a collision course with his roots, his fears and his very identity.
In the opposite corner is Dane ‘The Pain’ Samson, the young pretender and son of a boxing legend. He’s fighting his battles, leading to a tragedy that neither man can predict.
The production can be seen at the theatre’s studio on February 13, at 7.45pm.
