As Jacob tears through Nottingham in a whirlwind of drugs, girls, and bar fights, he makes a fatal mistake that lands him in prison. But as he struggles to accept the consequences of his actions and build a new life, he finds an unusual source of salvation: the parents of the boy he killed. Based on a remarkable true story, Punch is two-time Olivier winner James Graham (INK)’s “most moving work yet” (The Times of London).
This production is dedicated to James Hodgkinson and all victims of one-punch.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Punch
Punch
9 / 10
Whether running around the stage with kinetic, barely pent-up energy or cowering on the floor, seemingly terrified of having to find the rights words to explain himself, Will Harrison makes one of the most impressive Broadway debuts in recent history as the troubled Jacob Dunne in James Graham’s new play, “Punch,” now at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. Commanding a mostly bleak stage for almost all of the play’s two-and-a-half hours, shifting colors with the quicksilver ability of a chameleon, Harrison is (pardon the pun) a knockout – and well worth your time and money to see him!
Punch review: Will Harrison delivers an impactful performance in Broadway play inspired by real-life tragedy
8 / 10
Still, Punch's moving message about the true power of connection and understanding in the wake of unthinkable tragedy is one that is desperately needed these days. Grade: B
