    Following sold-out runs at Nottingham Playhouse and the Young Vic, we’re excited to announce that James Graham‘s ★★★★★ play Punch will be transferring to the Apollo Theatre in the West End this autumn! We wanted to give you a heads up so you can grab your tickets for this ‘powerhouse of a production’ (Whatsonstage) before they *probably* sell out again.

    22 September – 29 November 2025

    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.
