Beautiful Burnout- Context

Notes-

  • It's about boxing
  • It's set in Scotland

Artic Director's Notes-
  • Idea came from a ten minute visit to a world famous boxing gym in Brooklym- mesmerized by tense, energetic atmosphere- remarkable experience
  • Boxing is often known as the nobel art- damage is done- can be considered a 'blood sport'- adds tension
  • Had no intention of shying away from moral debate of boxing
  • Dedecated people- found home in boxing- ethos of disipline and respect- also very relevant to acting
  • Had boxing coaches that shared their experiences with them
  • Cast put through a rigerous training routine
  • Playwright= 'second to know'- 2 directors had the idea and then went and found the writer to work with
  • They belive their interpretation represents the boxing world with honesty and integrity
