This is the story of Punch. Not the lovable character in the seaside booth who deals out violence and dark humour in equal measures but the real-life Punch, who also deals out violence and dark humour in equal measures but seriously lack the 'lovable' factor. He is 'The Prebumptious Mr. Punch'.
Given a five year prison sentence after an act of senseless violence, Punch is subjected to the full reforming zeal of the prison system - governors, warders, social workers, chaplains, poetry and circus skills. But can anything change the cycle of violence in Punch's disturbed mind? Especially when the Policeman who arrested him starts to have an affair with Judy, the mother of his baby! Life will become very complicated.
Peter Sutton has written a darker than dark comedy, full of astute social comment and as this three-handed play comes to its shattering climax, it asks deep and meaningful questions about prison, about society and about the endearing appeal of Punch and Judy. That's the way to do it!
