Punk Rock
27 June – 18 July
True Grit Series
In a first-time collaboration with the University of Otago Theatre Studies Programme, Fortune Theatre is proud to present Punk Rock – Simon Stephen’s most successful play to date.
Ferociously funny and unnerving, Punk Rock explores underlying jittery tensions, hormonal headiness and potential violence in a group of affluent seventeen-year-old students as they begin to plan for university and the rest of their lives. But, when a new classmate arrives, suddenly friendships are tested and allegiances shift amidst the pressures of everyday adolescence. They are faced with a very real danger that could swallow them whole.
This collaboration brings together a raw young cast that exposes the violence simmering under the surface of achieving success.
