Frantic Assembly and the National Theatre of Scotland
By Bryony Lavery
Directed and Choreographed by Scott Graham & Steven Hoggett
Featuring the music of Underworld


Cameron Burns is going places. He's fighting for his club, his mum, his place in the world. And this boy is a natural. He has an affinity with the violence, the balance, the ritual, the grace, and the power of the most controversial sport of our time.

Bryony Lavery's heart-wrenching and deeply human story follows five young fighters as they aim for the bright lights, far from Glasgow's mean, grey streets.

This knockout production draws its audience into the heart of the action, where every jab, hook and uppercut feels flinchingly realistic.

Featuring a stunning backdrop of glittering video screens and a pulsating soundtrack by electronic heavyweights Underworld, Beautiful Burnout
packs an almighty, and unforgettable punch.

See you ringside.

    "You'll be living your life in three minute bursts". And that I was. Taken on a whirlwind tour of three minute monologues broken up with astounding punches of physical theatre, Beautiful Burnout tells the story of five young people with dreams of becoming professional boxers.
