Center Theatre Group

The Wholehearted is the unflinching portrait of a female boxer who survives a brutal attack by her husband. A tale of revenge and redemption, the violence of love, the sexuality of sports, and the high cost of fame, this new play utilizes live projections, film, and a thumping rockabilly score to explore the line between personal fantasy and hard reality—and what it takes to be a champion.

Center Theatre Group will present this production in the 2016-17 season at the Kirk Douglas Theatre. We will transform the stage of the Douglas into a boxing ring with intimate seating on all sides of the stage.
