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 is spectacularly staged, drawing
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.
“This is stunning. Literally and
metaphorically”
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
“Beautiful Burnout is
spectacular, lyrical and
thought-provoking”
THE SCOTSMAN
“a brilliantly acted exploration
of what makes boxers box and
what happens when a shooting
star shimmers, shines brightly
and falls to earth”
THE GUARDIAN
“An outstanding edge-of-yourseat
thrill ride”
