Punch in London
Are you ready for an emotional rollercoaster? This is a powerful new drama from the BAFTA and Olivier-winning playwright James Graham, inspired by a true tragedy and a play for our times. Relevant, gritty and impactful, you won’t forget Punch any time soon. After two sold-out runs at the Nottingham Playhouse and Young Vic, the production now has a well-earned West End transfer this Autumn.
What is Punch about?
A raw and honest exploration of young masculinity and violence, Punch is inspired by Jacob Dunne’s memoir Right from Wrong. Teenager Jacob Dunne lives in The Meadows, an area of Nottingham. He and his friends spend their Saturday nights drinking in the city, like teens all over the country, but unlike most, they’re looking for trouble. One night, when they’re out in Old Market Square, he punches a stranger and that one act, that one thoughtless move, has fatal consequences. Eventually released from prison, Jacob finds himself adrift. Then Joan and David, the victim’s mum and dad, ask to meet him. They make an unexpected connection and Jacob finally starts to turn his life around.
Punch takes on a real-life story and presents a powerful play that addresses complex social issues. You are in for a treat when you witness what will be one of the most talked about productions of the year.
