Reviews from FringeNYC 2009 "Peter Allen was right when he reported that "Everything Old is New Again" as proved by The Boxer, now at the Connelly Theatre. This live presentation of a silent film unfolds on stage before a screen on which dialogue is projected, and the result is refreshing enough to keep viewers amused for just under an hour."THEATREMANIA.COM It's a silly, light-hearted slapstick love story, with live music, and no spoken dialogue. Meticulously written and directed by Matt Lyle, The Boxer is an hour of pure old-timey fun... Regardless, young and old will doubtlessly find a little something to delight them in The Boxer. At the show I was at, in front of me sat a silver-haired gentleman guffawing, and way in the back a little kid squealed with glee. The Boxer is a solid hour, packed to the brim with shtick and charm..." "Words, words, words. Who needs 'em? Certainly not the darling Bootstraps company, whose The Boxer quite ably pretends to be a silent film. Led by the playwright-director Matt Lyle, the company dials our clocks back to the flickering age of Buster and Charlie, when gorilla suits meant comic gold."
