It is a coming of age story, one of dealing with the demons of the past and discovering one\u2019s identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flynn (played by Newton) is a young boxer, the son of a professional boxer who\u2019s career never really took off. Unlike his father, Flynn is determined to become a successful, professional boxer. In doing so, he has to fight off his inherited perceptions of masculinity as he discovers his own identity. He thrusts himself into a gruelling training regime to avoid his internal struggle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kweyama \u2013 currently the artistic director of the Baxter Zabalaza Theatre Festival \u2013 was awarded the Naledi award for Best Actor in a Lead Role and Best Original Choreography for <span>Karoo Moose in <\/span>2008. His directing accolades at The Baxter include <span>Most Honest Man<\/span>, Reza De Wet\u2019s <span>Missing<\/span>, Woza Albert and Edward Albee\u2019s <span>The Goat, or who is Sylvia?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newton is a promising actor and musician who, in 2021, completed his BA Hons in Drama and Acting at UCT. While he started acting for film in 2016, <span>Shadow Boxing<\/span> is his first professional performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n <span>Shadow Boxing<\/span> opens tomorrow (Wednesday 6 May) and runs to Saturday 21 May at the Baxter Masambe theatre at 19:00 nightly with matinee performances on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 12:30. Ticket prices range from R50 for group bookings to R120 and are available through Webtickets online at www.webtickets.co.za or at any Pick n Pay store.
