The Nottingham Playhouse production of Punch by Olivier Award-winning playwright, James Graham, based on the book ‘Right From Wrong' by Jacob Dunne, will transfer to the West End.

The full casts have been announced for the first two Festival Theatre productions of Chichester’s new season, The Government Inspector and Anna Karenina.

Based on the memoir of Jacob Dunne, Punch is the sobering true story of the tragic and rippling consequences of a single punch thrown on a night out. 

The Young Vic Theatre has announced a two week extension to the London transfer of Punch due to public demand, now set to run in the Young Vic Main House from 1 March to 26 April with press night on 6 March 2025.

Chaos and confusion reign in this laughter-filled production.

The Young Vic Theatre has announced the London transfer of Punch, the latest five-star sell-out show from Olivier Award-winning playwright James Graham (Best of Enemies, Dear England, This House, Sherwood) and Nottingham Playhouse, which brings Jacob Dunne’s powerful and moving memoir to the stage. 

Julie Hesmondhalgh will join the cast of the world premiere of James Graham's new play Punch, directed by Adam Penford and opening at Nottingham Playhouse on 4 May.

Copies of C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe have decorated children's bookshelves since its publication in 1950, and the image of a solitary gas lamppost amidst a blanket of white snow has become iconic. Following a successful run at the Leeds Playhouse in 2017, Sally Cookson's adaptation of Lewis's novel is now at the Bridge Theatre, and proves a perfect tonic to the theatrical soul, with impeccable design and innovative scenic effects.

Based on the novel by C. S. Lewis and directed by Sally Cookson, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will have its first performance at the Bridge Theatre on 9 November 2019. Today (16 October 2019) rehearsal images are released on the 69th anniversary of the publication of the novel. Opening night is on 18 November and the production runs until 2 February 2020. Full details of the performance schedule, including Sunday matinees, are available on the Bridge website.
