THE PLAY
By Marco Ramirez | Directed by Dexter J. Singleton
A knockout award-winning new play. Told in a boxing ring over six rounds, The Royale is an electrifying adrenaline rush that shows us the human cost of making history. From playwright Marco Ramirez (Orange is the New Black, Daredevil) comes a story inspired by the real-world boxer Jack Johnson who – as a black man at the height of the Jim Crow era – became the heavyweight champion of the world.
“Original and graceful, The Royale packs a punch!”
