"Muhammed Ali and me have one thing in common: we were Black in the Seventies." So begins this dynamic new play from Mojisola Adebayo (Moj of the Antarctic). Set in an English children's home in the mid 1970's, this play tells the story of a girl who grows up fixated with Muhammed Ali; she speaks her life through his words, his fights become her dances and his struggles give her the courage she needs to survive. Exploring the relationship between Black girls, absent fathers, Black men and Islam, this powerful play packs more than just a punch. Seductive multi-sensory storytelling through poetry, dance, boxing, song, original Ali fight footage and a superb 1970's sound track. "I am young, I am handsome, I am pretty, I can't possibly be beat!"
