Carrying David

Inspired by the love of his terminally ill brother David, on June 3, 1989, Glenn McCrory made boxing history, becoming the Cruiserweight Champion of the World .

Funny and heartbreaking, Carrying David is a remarkable one-man play reflecting the highs and many lows of Glenn's unrelenting drive and incredible sacrifice to become the very first world boxing champion from the North East.

Two brothers: one fighting for his fame, the other fighting for his life!
