1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side. Josh O’Connor leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’s knockout American classic, a propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity and the high price of success.
