Description Gripping and very watchable physical theatre piece, with some spoken text plus narrative projections and a wrestling-ring set, exploring the tangled relationships between three brothers, one of whom dies in prison. The Merlyn Theatre was used 'end-on', the wrestling ring being at one end, but the performer-audience relationship was intimate and deeply involving.
