Punk Rock

| Studio One UNSW
| 28th March - 1st April, 2017
| Written by Simon Stephens
| Directed by
Kathleen Quéré 
| Produced by Verónica Barac
About the play
“Sometimes the world is a bit unnerving. Some people do awful things…”

​Punk Rock is a provocative and compelling play by multi-award winning playwright Simon Stephens about violence, sexism and mental illness among disaffected youth. The play involves seven teenagers (William, Lily, Bennet, Chadwick, Nicholas, Tanya and Cissy) in their final year at an elite, fee-paying grammar school in Stockport (UK). 

The teenagers spend their time stifled in the Upper School library, away from teacher supervision, studying- or not- for their mock exams. William quickly develops an obsessive crush on the new girl Lilly, but she's falling for Nicholas instead. Bennet takes pleasure in mocking and humiliating his fellow students, particularly Chadwick and Tanya. 

However, as exam pressure builds, tensions flare and expose a raw undercurrent of panic and hostility.
