Joe Bonaparte sets aside his dream of becoming a violinist for the promise of a lucrative boxing career. As he skyrockets to boxing fame, Joe finds himself torn between the lure of big money and the distinct possibility of injuring his hands and permanently destroying his musical career.
The Washington Post Review
“Aided by a team of largely compelling actors, director Lee Mikeska Gardner deftly orchestrates the rhythms and intensities of this 1937 work.”
DC Theatre Scene Review
“Director Lee Mikeska Gardner and her team have embraced the relic and polished it to a cleanish luster, and the result is a sturdy, reverent staging that will appeal to fans of the play and lovers of the 1930s.”
Washington Examiner Review
“There’s not a lot of what would normally be called poetry in “Golden Boy” but there is deeply felt, tough, no-nonsense conversation and expression of feeling.”
