SSBC: Boxer Beetle

Part of Small Story/Big City

'Boxer, Beetle' is a blood-thirsty, fish-stinking, time-crossing, gut-churning, heart-swelling, glass-smashing, white-knuckle, tragi-comic buddy-road-trip whodunit with fist fights, Nazis, night trips to the great open spaces, singing, dancing, boxing and gin. And beetles.

Local Girl Productions are delighted to bring you their adaptation of Ned Beauman’s Booker Prize nominated novel ‘Boxer Beetle’. Follow the 1930’s (sort-of-love) story of boxer Seth Roach and beetle-obsessed Eugenicist Philip Erskine through the modern-day eyes of of Kevin, a man who has just been kidnapped, has an unfortunate condition that makes him smell of fish, and also happens to be in possession of a letter from Hitler to the aforementioned Erskine.
Join us for a crazy, fast-paced romp of an evening with loads of energy, at least 3 languages and plenty of singing.

Local Girl Productions are making extra-ordinary theatre with, for and about ordinary humans in London and Essex.
