Meet The Skater Punks From Punk Play

FeaturesGalleryGregory S MossNewsOff West Endpunkplay

We are pleased to bring you some great images from the rehearsal room of punkplay which starts previewing at Southwark Playhouse this week ahead of its opening night on the 9th September 2016.

Gregory S. Moss’s punkplay is a riot of a play told at break-neck pace with a killer soundtrack, a coming-of-age story about subcultures, friendship and not-fitting-in - all on rollerskates!

There’s Duck and there’s Mickey. They’re the kids of America and it’s the 80s apocalypse. They hate their parents and there’s no point in algebra. They’re grabbing at this thing called life: guitars, girls, love, fury, heartbreak and noise noise noise. Punk is their escape from suburbia and it’s like nothing they have ever heard. It’s fast - it’s alive - it’s already dead.

REVIEW: Briefs, The Spiegeltent, London Wonderground ✭✭✭✭✭

This is pure, unadulterated escapism – and nobody does it better. We all need a little escapism every now and then, and in these crazy – even difficult – times it should not just be advised, it should be made mandatory. Whatever is next in store for this brilliant bunch, I for one, cannot wait to see it.

REVIEW: Things I Know To Be True, Lyric Hammersmith ✭✭✭✭✭

Families are complicated and messy, nevertheless, family dramas when captured correctly can be hugely touching. No matter what our background, we all have emotive views about ‘family’, and those connections usually run deep. Brookman and Graham have made Bovell’s already vital story come to life in such a way that the actors’ performances truly soar. I defy you not to be moved. This, in short, is a blistering production with universal appeal. All I can say is; go! You will not be disappointed.
