Punch

Closing: November 02, 2025

Punch - 2025 Broadway History , Info & More

Manhattan Theatre Club
131 West 55th St. (between 6th & 7th Aves) New York, NY

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

One punch, two families, and a heart that won’t stop beating
8 / 10

As the victim’s parents, Victoria Clark and Sam Robards walk a fine line, avoiding pathos and instead leaning into the urgency of trying to understand and eventually accept the outcome of a senseless crime. Beyond Harrison, whose riveting performance expands and contracts with teetering abandon, ensemble members embody multiple roles with physical fluidity, vocal inflection, and dialects.

Where Tough Guys Do Dance: Punch
7 / 10

The tempo of Punch slows and the performances sharpen and deepen. Though the air is thick with anguish, three people start to grope their way through it toward each other. One can only imagine that these were the scenes that made Graham want to write the play. They are its finest and—in a moment where truth and reconciliation can feel like utopian fantasies—its most radically hopeful.
