Gypsy Queen featuring ALRA Grad Ryan Clayton

This new play by Rob Ward, directed by Adam Zane and featuring Rob Ward and ALRA Alumnus Ryan Clayton focuses on a love story between two fighters who discover the greatest challenge lies outside the ring.

gq poster v6The story of ‘Gorgeous’ George O’Connell: traveller, bare-knuckle fighter, hero to his people and Gypsy King. George leaves this life behind and enters the world of professional boxing, which puts him on a collision course with his roots, his identity and his greatest fear.

In the opposite corner, gay boxer Dane ‘The Pain’ Samson, the young pretender and son of a boxing legend. But Dane is fighting his own battles and they will ultimately lead to a tragedy that neither man could predict.

Two men who find themselves, and each other, in the most unlikely of worlds.

‘Gypsy Queen’ is an unconventional love story between two fighters who discover the greatest challenge lies outside the ring.
