American writer Marco Ramirez sets this play in 1905 when the world of boxing is just as racially segregated as the rest of America. Told in six rounds and set in a boxing ring, The Royale is inspired by the often overlooked story of Jack Johnson, a boxer from Galveston who – at the height of the Jim Crow era – became the most famous and the most notorious black man on Earth.
