- Rabbittown Theatre Company is joining forces with MUN Drama to present The Fights by local playwright Ben Pittman. The Fights is inspired by the real life struggle of Newfoundland Bareknuckle Prizefighter Johnny Dwyer, and follows his family’s settlement in post-civil war America. “Gentleman” Johnny rises through the ranks of the illegal fighting circuit of 1870’s New York City. In a world of shady saloon owners, confederate war criminals, corrupt politicians and the meanest pugilists of the era, Johnny learns how far he is willing to go for a dream. The show runs from Jan 25 – 29, find out more here.
