Following a Fringe First Award-winning and critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe run, Contact commission No Guts, No Heart, No Glory comes to Manchester.

With a live electronic sound, cinematic lighting and the energy of a club, No Guts, No Heart, No Glory explores being young, fearless and doing the unexpected. The site-specific play staged at Moss Side Fire Station Boxing Gym, was made by critically acclaimed immersive theatre company Common Wealth. They used interviews with young Muslim female boxers as a starting point from which to devise the piece in collaboration with the five 16-23 year old performers.

'We are sick of it, being ignored. Sick of it, being indoors.'

“Raw, heartfelt, blazing with energy and sometimes absolutely beautiful.” ★★★★ The Scotsman

Co-produced by Contact. Commissioned by Contact and Theatre in the Mill. Funded by Arts Council England and Bradford Council.
