In this episode of The Music's special podcast series, Melbourne International Arts Festival: Inside Out, Arts Editor Maxim Boon speaks to Artistic Director of La Boite Theatre Todd MacDonald about Future D. Fidel's powerful play Prize Fighter, the sunning semi-biographical story of a young Congolese refugee and amateur boxer in Australia, who relives the trauma of being a child soldier.
