Chinese Boxing

Poster for Chinese boxing - Norwich Fringe 2021

Chinese Boxing is a one-man show with a powerful message about China and ‘The West’, inspired by the Siege of the Legations in Peking, during the Boxer Uprising of 1900.

“Brilliantly conceived and acted… thought-provoking, sad, funny, and culturally and politically relevant today.”

— Susan Crook
