✦ Synopsis

No Guts, No Heart, No Glory is based on interviews with female Muslim boxers, and young Pakistani Muslim women from Bradford. Our cast of five shaped the play based on their experiences, their insight, and what we all wanted to say. No Guts, No Heart, No Glory is a chance for young women to represent themselves, to dance, to box, to swear, to get angry, to enjoy it, to be champions. No Guts, No Heart, No Glory won The Scotsman Fringe First Award and was shortlisted for the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2014.;Intro; Half-title Page; Title Page; Copyright; Contents; Contact, Manchester; Foreword; Introduction; About Common Wealth:; Note on the text:; Act one; Honesty; Mehwish Gets Bullied; Tasleem Listens to the Earth; Hajra Wants to Get Away; Never Drop Your Guard; People Talking Behind Our Backs; Boxing; Mehwish Laughs; Tasleem Wants to Get Married; The Collective Manifesto; The First Fight; Mehwish Beats the Bully; Hajra Crowd Surfs; Celebration!; Endurance.
