About this show
Directed by Emmy-winning director Karen Arthur, an aimless fighter and his rising rockstar sister collide in a high-energy play that fuses mixed martial arts with live music. This bold, first-of-its-kind production explores courage, identity and the consequences of choice. As one sibling charges forward and the other hesitates, both are forced to confront who they are and what they truly want. Blending the spectacle of sport with the electricity of live performance, the show captures the raw immediacy only theatre can offer.

This is a play with a whole lot of heart
— George's Theatre Reviews (4 out of 5 stars)
Ellie Morrison’s career as a rock star is on its way up – her brother, Mixed Martial Arts fighter Luke’s might be too, if only he could get motivated to train properly and improve on his natural ability.
— The Real Chrisparkle (4 out of 5 stars)
The show starts with a solo song from aspiring rockstar Ellie. It's good, but would have been even better live. She could easily do it. Then she starts to make two-faces insufficient.
