B*TCH BOXER is a critically acclaimed, raw, and physical one-woman play by Charlotte Josephine that follows Chloe, a boxer training for the 2012 Olympics while grieving her father's death. The 60-minute show explores themes of rage, love, and female empowerment in a patriarchal society. Presented by Dead Darling Theatre, the one-woman shining on the stage is Shardae Santos.

As a recent Flinders University, Bachelor of Performance (Acting) graduate, Santos is motivated by telling stories that invigorate audiences and spark connection. In the middle of 2025, this play was brought to Dead Darling Theatre for consideration by Santos and is reportedly the ultimate companion to their other Fringe show, unmothered, premiering next week.
