The Cornerman @ Theatre at the Mill Oct 2026

Liam Casey was one fight away from a world title shot when a devastating shoulder injury ended his boxing career overnight.

Now retired at thirty, he spends his days in the Belfast gym that shaped him, struggling to make sense of a life beyond the ring. As a journalist begins asking questions and the pressures of the past close in, Liam is forced to confront who he is when fighting is no longer an option.

Set in the heart of Belfast and blending humour, movement, memory and raw honesty, The Cornerman is a powerful new drama about masculinity, mental health, friendship and finding purpose after loss.

A moving story about identity, resilience, and discovering that some fights can only be won together.
