Four very different Victorian women are drawn into the dark underground world of female boxing. Controlled by men and constrained by more than their corsets, each finds an unexpected freedom in the boxing ring. As their lives begin to intertwine, their journey takes us through 19th century drawing rooms, bustling theaters and rowdy Southwark pubs, where the women fight for their own liberation as well as for the freedom of all women everywhere. Joy Wilkinson's play The Sweet Science of Bruising is a raucous tale of passion, politics and pugilism. Join us for the final showdown, where only one can become the Lady Boxing Champion of the World.Tickets can be purchased from the University Box Office - bucknell.universitytickets.com - 570.577.1000Tickets are not directly sold via the Dept of Theatre & Dance.
