About Punch

Experience Punch, the latest masterpiece from Olivier Award-winning playwright James Graham (Best of Enemies, Dear England, This House), which brings Jacob Dunne’s powerful true-life account to the stage. This ★★★★★ production, following a sold-out run in Nottingham, is igniting discussions everywhere, from theatres and courthouses to the House of Commons.

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.

This production is dedicated to James Hodgkinson and all victims of one-punch.

Post-show talks will be held to discuss the themes of the show with Jacob Dunne and guests following the performance on 11 March, 7.30pm, and on 19 March, 2.30pm with a panel of guests, with further details to be announced.
