Beautiful Burnout

On Saturday the 18th of February I went to see Beautiful Burnout at the ABC studio. 

The set was very small and in the centre they had a square small stage with a long circle drawn, representing the boxing ring. At the back of the stage there were monitors(tv) playing different things throughout the performance. 
The story was about a young boy called Cameron Burns that wanted to become a professional boxer. He trained with Bobby Burgess and learnt to be the best. In the end he got brutally nocked out by Ajay Chopra, and become disabled.
The lighting throughout the performance represented the different emotions and the movement was so precise. 
Even though there was a comedy side to the performance there was true meaning when the mum was deeply worried about her son. In the end you see how much mums are willing to do for you. In no matter what situation, to be there for you every second of every day.
