Punch
Description
One life has been wasted, because of this. Senseless, no reason at all. So where's the sense in wasting another? If we can 'help' him?
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.
Based on Jacob Dunne's powerful true-life account of the justice system, Punch is a play igniting discussions everywhere, from theatres and courthouses to the House of Commons.
This edition is published to coincide with the transfer to London's Young Vic in March 2025, following its original commission and production by Nottingham Playhouse.
