On a hot steamy night in the Yankee Stadium New York 1937, a boy from Tonypandy fights Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber, the greatest heavy-weight of them all. From the boxing booths of the Rhondda to fame and fortune, a combination of the fast life and a series of personal tragedies leave Tommy Farr penniless. At the age of 37 he has only two options - go back down the mines or climb back in the ring... Contender is a musical about one man who against all the odds follows his dream to achieve sporting immortality.T141153290Company Take pART Senior Academy*. | |
