[h3]Synopsis[/h3]

This explosive play is inspired by the story of boxer Jack Johnson who, at the height of the Jim Crow era, became the most famous and notorious black man on Earth. With a combination of rapid-fire dialogue and rhythmic percussion it depicts the epic journey of one man’s quest for fame–no matter the consequence.

“ASTONISHING! A tightly laced drama about race, success, trust and boxing that delivers a power punch to the soul!”- Chicago Sun Times

This play has received great reviews in London, Chicago and LA. It opened at Lincoln Center in March to great reviews. Award-winning playwright Marco Ramirez was born and raised in Miami — and attended Miami-Dade County Public schools. He went on to New York University and then was accepted into the prestigious playwriting program at Julliard. He left Julliard to go to Hollywood to write for television. Since there, he has worked on Sons of Anarchy, Orange Is The New Black, Daredevil and Da Vinci’s Demons.
