Beautiful Burnout is the story a group of young Scottish boxers trying to make it.
Beautiful Burnout is about the soul sapping three minute bursts where men become gods and gods become mere men. It is the second when the guard drops, the eyes blink and miss the incoming hammer blow.There is a preview of it in Scotland on Sunday.
It is a piece of highly physical theatre and if you are in Edinburgh for the festival I would recommend that you go along and see it.
Disclaimer :I haven't seen the production yet, I probably won't until it transfers to London in September.
