Following sell-out shows and rave reviews, ‘Punk Rock’ has arrived at Edinburgh’s King’s Theatre.
Drawing on his experience as a teacher, Olivier award-winning playwright Simon Stephens’ play follows a group of educated, articulate and aspirational young people in their final year together at an English grammar school.
‘Punk Rock’ gradually exposes the dislocation, disjunction and latent violence simmering under the surface of success, resulting in a shocking and explosive finale.
The play is winner of four Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards including Best New Play and Best Production.
Directed by Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester co-Artistic Director, Sarah Frankcom, ‘Punk Rock’ was applauded in 2009 for showcasing the greatest rising young acting talent in the UK.
This touring production sees an exciting young cast take on Stephens’ powerful play including Rupert Simonian as William Carlisle, Nicholas Banks as Nicholas Chatman and Katie West as Tanya Gleason.
The show takes place until Saturday (October 2).
