ROPE-A-DOPE
Written and performed by Terry O’Neill
Today, Terry O’Neill is a busy actor and comedian whose film and TV credits include Michael Inside, The Meeting, Love/ Hate and Striking Out. On stage he has performed in theatres, comedy clubs and festivals all over Ireland and the UK.
But in his old life, he was a boxer.
ROPE-A-DOPE, Terry’s self-written hit Edinburgh Festival debut show, is the gripping personal story of a young boy’s obsession with the toughest of sports. Combining elements of fast-paced stand-up, theatre, dynamic music and movement Terry relives his dreams, struggles, triumphs and disappointments as he chases an impossible dream.
In his journey from star struck child to teenage champion, he reflects upon the hard realities and underlying brutality of the world of boxing. He recalls the chequered histories of many of his childhood heroes and questions why anyone would sign up to be punched in the head for a living.
Rope-a-Dope is a joyous coming of age tale that invites you to step through the ropes for a few rounds of laughter and revelation.
