Mr Punch

By Steve Byron

You have to see things from all angles. May save your life one day.

A dark and "Punchy" comedy exploring stubborn tradition and the shining light that acceptance can bring.

Steve Byron and Joana Geronimo's Mr Punch follows Norman, a solitary and now lonely figure of fun, with a dependence for drink and a long life of self-destruction and small mindedness. Norman has returned from a funeral carrying his recent departed father's life in a suitcase. A father whom he blames for his actions, situations and what the world might call a 'wasted life'. When a faraway family move in next door - Norman's attitudes, pity-party and beliefs may have to change.

But there's no show without Punch. Told against the backdrop of 21st century Britain, with the use of puppetry and extremely dark humour.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Alphabetti Theatre, Newcastle, in September 2023.
