FIGHT NIGHT
Starring Aonghus Og McAnally
A gripping journey charting the comeback of Dan Coyle Jr, a failed amateur boxer. Living in the shadows of his overbearing father and his brother’s Olympic success, the birth of his own son reignites his competitive fire, and he takes the first tentative steps on his road to redemption.
This fast-paced and engaging solo performance combines intense physicality with a classic Dublin wit in a storytelling experience that will leave audiences both exhausted and exhilarated.

McAnally and Kostick deliver a knockout blow…Extraordinary… Stark, exhilarating, and cathartic.” – The Irish Times.
A smashing little play… In an extraordinary display of eye-blinking activity, Aonghus Óg McAnally plays most of the piece in strict training mode; he breaks a sweat, yes (does he ever!), but he never seems to experience the slightest breathing difficulty. And every line, aside, and reflective sad little thought is delivered with bell-like clarity… I loved it.” – Sunday Independent
