Mr Punch

<i>You have to see things from all angles. May save your life one day.</i><br/><br/>A dark and Punchy comedy exploring stubborn tradition and the shining light that acceptance can bring.<br/><br/>Steve Byron and Joana Geronimo's <i>Mr Punch</i> 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.<br/><br/>But there's no show without Punch. Told against the backdrop of 21st century Britain with the use of puppetry and extremely dark humour. <br/><br/>This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Alphabetti Theatre Newcastle in September 2023.
