What is Golden Boy about?
1930s New York, at the height of the Depression.
Joe Bonaparte (O’Connor) is a gifted young violinist with extraordinary talent and a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. Pressured by a ruthless manager, tempted by a forbidden love, and bound by the expectations of his Italian-American family, Joe is a young man torn between the seductive promise of the American Dream and the quiet honour of a decent life. 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.
Who else is starring in the play?
Joining Josh in the revival are Jason Barnett, Richard Fleeshman, David Ganly, Patrick Martins, Daniel Mays, Oliver Ryan, Hayley Squires, Stanley Townsend, Zubin Varla, and Nicholas Woodeson.
Directed by Sam Yates, the Golden Boy revival will begin preview performances on Wednesday, September 9th, with the official opening set for Tuesday, September 15th. The show will run through Saturday, October 31st.
