London, 1869. Four very different Victorian women are drawn into the dark underground world of female boxing by the eccentric Professor Sharp. Controlled by men and constrained by corsets, each finds an unexpected freedom in the boxing ring.

As their lives begin to intertwine, their journey takes us through grand drawing rooms, bustling theatres and rowdy Southwark pubs, where the women fight inequality as well as each other. But with the final showdown approaching, only one can become the Lady Boxing Champion of the World…

Joy Wilkinson's play The Sweet Science of Bruising is an epic tale of passion, politics and pugilism

The Roving Peregrine Theatre Company is an ever expanding collective of artists in WV seeking to foster the developments of fellow artists by eliminating common barriers to inclusivity and equity. We host theatrical and artistic productions throughout the year that range from spins on classics to new work, as well as various activities and workshops. We seek to train, challenge, and support the current, and next generation of theatre artists. Through our mission we also seek to join with other community theatres for mutual assistance and support, and we seek to use the power of theatre to reach our common goals within each community. Through this work we will bring new experiences and entertainment to enrich our surrounding communities.
