Champion

A searing new family drama set in South Shields in 1977 when Muhammad Ali came to town.

He’s coming to South Shields to help us……. Muhammad Ali is the people’s champion…. Jonny’s gone over there to tell him that we need funds for the boys clubs….he’s going to do something for the people….he’s like that

Set during the great boxer’s now legendary visit to the North East, Champion shows the effect that such a major event has on a mixed race family in South Shields.

The lives of brothers Azeem and Billy and their mother Sheila are turned upside down with feelings of identity and community.

Written by one of contemporary theatre’s most regarded writers Ishy Din, this epic tale stirs up the question of what each of us is truly fighting for.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere production at Newcastle's Live Theatre in February 2025.
