Conteh by Aron Julius
10 years old and fighting out of a club in Kirkby. 19 years old and winning gold at the Commonwealth Games. 24 years old and becoming the light heavyweight champion of the World. But that’s only half the story.
In the 1970s and 80s,John Conteh was one of the best-known people in the city. He lived the highest of high lives and wrung every ounce of pleasure from his sporting success. A friend to many, perhaps too many, and some were quick to take advantage.
Aron Julius (Boys From The Blackstuff and a new star of BBC One's Casualty) has written and stars in this incredible blow by blow drama about the life of one of Liverpool’s sporting greats. A mix of sporting and personal highs and lows, you will understand him like never before.
Conteh. Knock out.Cast confirmed: Aron Julius, Amber Blease, Helen Carter, Zach Levene and Mark Moraghan
