About this event
Following sold-out runs at the Nottingham Playhouse and Young Vic, and simultaneous openings on Broadway and in the West End, Punch comes to Curve for one week only. Don’t miss your chance to see this critically acclaimed play in a ‘ powerhouse of a production ’ (WhatsOnStage). From Olivier Award-winning writer James Graham ( Dear England , This House , BBC’s Sherwood ), Punch brings Jacob Dunne’s extraordinary true story to the stage in a gripping, high-energy and deeply moving production directed by Adam Penford. 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. A powerful true story of hope, humanity, and the possibility of change. This production is dedicated to James Hodgkinson and all victims of one-punch.
