Winner of the Olivier, Critics' Circle and London Standard Awards for Best New Play: a powerful true story of hope, humanity, and the possibility of change. Following sold-out runs at the Nottingham Playhouse and Young Vic, and simultaneous openings on Broadway and in the West End, Punch comes to Chichester for one week only as part of its UK tour. Suitable for ages 12+.
From Olivier Award-winning writer James Graham (Dear England, This House, BBC's Sherwood), based on the book Right from Wrong by Jacob Dunne, Punch brings Jacob's extraordinary true story to the stage in a gripping, high-energy and deeply moving production directed by Adam Penford (Atonement, The Sound of Music).
Jacob Dunne, a teenager from Nottingham, spends his Saturday nights seeking thrills with his friends. One fateful evening, an impulsive punch leads to fatal consequences. After serving prison time, Jacob finds himself lost and directionless. Searching for answers, Joan and David – the parents of his victim James – ask to meet, sparking a profound transformation in Jacob's life.
