He has spent many years never losing and never disappointing his aficionados. What will happen if he does eventually lose a fight, will his world come crashing down around him? How does such an esteemed champion claw his way back from defeat; and what impact will this have on his life? Everything changes for him as he is brought to the brink of madness in this beguiling one act play. The Human Rocket by Owen Lewis Day by day anonymous people rub shoulders with each other. In shops, clubs and bars each one with their own story to tell. The Human Rocket is the second part of The Human Trilogy.
