*Punch*, a New York premiere, is based on the true-life book *Right from Wrong* by Jacob Dunne. Graham was inspired by the moving, brutally honest story and adapted it for the stage. Now, the jolting play comes to the States in a production that is association with Nottingham Playhouse.

Nottingham is its own character in the play, as it is the turf where protagonist Jacob wanders as he does drugs, sleeps with various women, and gets into violent bar fights. After landing in jail for one crime that turned deadly, he is offered a unique chance to meet with the parents of the victim he killed. Can the consequences of his actions also be the building blocks for a new life?

Playwright James Graham is not interested in easy answers, and in having audiences spend time with a character they usually don't see on stage, Graham hopes to illuminate the gray areas within all of us that drive self-questioning and change.

## What to watch for

- In a rare occurrence in theatre, *Punch* is making its West End and Broadway premieres at the same time.
- Based on Jacob Dunne's memoir, Graham’s play recounts how trainee paramedic James Hodgkinson was killed on a night out in Nottingham in 2011 through a single punch to the head, delivered by the then 19-year-old Jacob.
- London Theatre wrote, "With Graham at the wheel, it is no surprise that *Punch* is full of messages about social politics, from the redevelopment of council estates to the redistribution of local government funds."
- Audiences can expect a specific look at a working-class world in which economics, culture, and politics collide that dictate one family's grief and one man's redemption. 
- Director Adam Penford is also the artistic director of Nottingham Playhouse, who is also producing this New York show.

*Punch* follows Jacob after a whirlwind of drugs, sex, and violence leads him to prison — but also to the parents of the boy he killed, ultimately changing the course of his life.

See this muscular, propulsive show about one lethal blow and the lives that were changed after it. *Punch* plays on Broadway next season at the Pulitzer Prize-winning theatre Manhattan Theatre Club, which is known for such hits as *Doubt* and *Proof*. Coming to the company's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, Olivier Award winner James Graham's strong but moving new play is based on the real-life story of a man who punched and killed a young man on a night out in Nottingham.

Experience *Punch* on Broadway to see this singular story based on the memoir Right From Wrong by Jacob Dunne. In that memoir, Dunne recounts how he killed a trainee paramedic, James Hodgkinson, as a teenager on a night out in Nottingham in 2011 through a single punch to the head. Epic, gripping, and deeply affecting, the play takes an unflinching look at violence and the grief that follows.

In *Punch*, Jacob is on a tear through Nottingham, drinking, doing drugs, and sleeping with women he picks up. Prone to violence, his bad habits get the best of him on one tragic night out where he punches a young man. He lands in jail, but can a meeting with the dead man's parents redirect his life?

An epic story intimately told, *Punch* won great acclaim in England. "Five stars for James Graham’s most moving work yet," The Times of London wrote. "If it sometimes feels as if James Graham is the one playwright regularly allowed to address big themes on big stages, *Punch* is a reminder of why he is so special." 

After writing about Gareth Southgate’s transformation of the national football team in *Dear England*, Graham now turns his attention to one crime that shook a community.
