Show Info

Written by Gavin Kostick
Directed by Bryan Burroughs 

With Aonghus Óg McAnally

Fight Night is a gripping journey charting the comeback of Dan Coyle Jr., a failed amateur boxer from a long line of accomplished fighters.

Existing in the shadows of an overbearing father and a brother's Olympic success, Dan's training slips in favor of girls and booze. Minutes before a crucial match, an accident exiles Dan from the ring, splintering the family apart.

Years later, after the birth of his own son, his competitive spirit is ignited, and he tentatively takes the first steps on the road to his redemption.
 
One Chance. One Shot. Fight Night. No Excuses.

Part of Origin’s 1st Irish

Please note the start time of your performance as there is no late seeing and no reentry.

Fight Night  was written and developed as part of Show in a Bag, an artist development initiative of Dublin Fringe Festival, Fishamble: The New Play Company and Irish Theatre Institute to resource theatre makers and actors.

Reviews

Winner of Best Actor and Bewley’s Little Gem awards at Dublin Fringe, and nominated Best New Play at the Irish Times Theatre Awards

★★★★★ "A sickeningly fit, tour-de-force performance"
"A beautiful piece of writing, Kostick's simple yet moving tale digs deep while making it all look effortless. Serving up Masculinity 101 with such accessible ease it should be mandatory everywhere gender is taught."
 – The Arts Review

"McAnally and Kostick deliver a knockout blow…Extraordinary… Stark, exhilarating, and cathartic." The Irish Times

"Beautifully played, a hugely athletic and emotionally flawless performance" – The Scotsman
