- Our Price:
- $12.50
Fight Girl is E-V, a tough-as-nails prizefighter who also happens to be the last human woman in the galaxy. Battle World is her planet, a place where all the alien races come together for epic battles to the death and spectators bet on the outcome. E-V has much more to worry about than her next fight, though. She is being pursued by the United Galactic Alliance -- an evil empire on the verge of eradicating humanity. This science-fiction satire from Qui Nguyen, the creator of the 2011 InFusion Theatre Company hit Soul Samurai, gets its Midwestern premiere with this production, which is packed with innovative video projection, puppetry, stage combat and more. A Critic's Pick in Time Out Chicago, the show stars Sheila O'Connor as E-V. Learn More

Written on Mar 25 2013I really enjoyed this production. It kept my interest throughout and had me reflecting on some the points they bring up. The actors were incredible and had a lot to synchronize, especially the FIRST act. Very thoughtful concept, very creative, with wonderful writing. BRAVO team (playwright, director, actors)
