Show information
WINNER of Best New Play Olivier Awards 2026 PUNCH is dedicated to the memory of James Hodgkinson and all victims of one-punch. Jacob Dunne, a teenager from The Meadows, Nottingham, spends his Saturday nights seeking thrills with his friends. One fateful evening in Old Market Square, 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 story of hope, humanity, and the possibility of change. Whilst Punch is inspired by a true story, some characters and events have been fictionalised for the purposes of the play. Content Warnings – Strong language, References to violence, death, bereavement, alcohol and substance misuse, and mental health. Knives on stage, based on real-life people and events.
