The Royale

Aurora Theatre
2081 Addison Street Berkeley

With The Royale, playwright and acclaimed television writer Marco Ramirez (Orange is the New Black, Sons of Anarchy) tells a fictionalized story based on the world's first real-life heavyweight boxing champion and the sacrifices he makes to take his place in history. Jay "The Sport" Jackson wants a shot at the world title. Trouble is, he's living in a time when blacks and whites did not face off in the ring. But he's out to win at any cost. So he comes out swinging, slinging words in a spectacular barrage of rhythm and heat, language and adrenaline, sinew and swagger. With this Goldstar pre-sale, you can lock in your tickets now as the power-punching drama makes its Bay Area premiere at Berkeley's Aurora Theatre Company.
