Buzzing from huge success at The Fringe, Frankie Walker’s powerful new one-woman show, ‘Angry Snatch: A reclamation job in 15 rounds’ will visit the Merlin’s Bridge Boxing Club on October 19 for the last leg of its Wales tour.
The work has attracted praise for its hard-hitting storytelling and fusion of theatre and boxing forms. Combining physical theatre and dance with spoken word and boxing rhythms, Frankie invites audiences to join her in an unflinching reflection on her own and others’ lived experience of domestic abuse, and the role that boxing played in her journey towards healing and reclaiming her life.
Frankie devised the work in collaboration with Director Meg Fenwick and choreographer Cai Tomos, as a way of making sense of her experience. In doing so, she offers a vital insight into the less seen, disorienting, frustrating aspects of navigating, escaping and recovering from domestic abuse.
By rooting the show in communities across the tour, Frankie hopes to raise awareness of the isolation that victims and survivors experience.
