MCEWAN will be a brand new and exciting piece of theatre. Depicting the fight career of Edinburgh professional boxer, Craig Mcewan.
I am a professional playwright and screenwriter from, Edinburgh. I am a passionate boxing fan who has always been fascinated by the similarities between the sport of the sweet science, and theatre. I have a proven track record of writing successful boxing plays. And this is largely how I first met Craig. His career story has all the ingredients of brilliant drama. A young man from Westerhails who's talents took him all the way to Hollywood, and back again. I will write the piece in authentic east coast dialect. It will be a play aimed at communities throughout the country that theatre so often neglects. I believe that Craigs story has the potential to inspire young working class people in a very positive way. But it will also be a piece of great entertainment for the masses. Any money raised here will be used for myself and Craig to sit down for a series of extensive interviews. Together we will shape up his story and I will then go away and write up the first draft. The money raised will allow me the time to concentrate fully on it. And the time to write to the best of my abilities. Once a first draft has been written we will then galvanise a brilliant creative team with the intention of touring this play around boxing gyms sometime in, 2022.
