Dark Comedy, Drama

Punching Judy

Punch and Judy: a British entertainment institution famously contained within the confines of a small striped box. But what happens when the chaotic lives of these iconic characters tumbles out of the booth and spills into the real world? This is a one-hour tragicomedy exploring the public and private lives of Punch and Judy alongside the host of characters that have for centuries populated their world. With a blend of slapstick comedy and puppetry vs naturalistic drama, as the two sides begin to blur it makes for a dark and unsettling comedy that is no longer for kids.
