Jacob, a teenage boy living in the Meadows, Nottingham, often spends his time roaming the streets drunk and in search of trouble. On one chaotic weekend night, he throws a single—and eventually fatal—punch at a stranger. Two years later, after a prison term of 14 months, Jacob emerges lost and aimless. But he forms an unlikely connection with the victim’s parents, Joan and David, that helps him turn his life around. This true story, as told in Jacob Dunne’s memoir Right from Wrong, is the subject of a theater adaptation by James Graham. Narrated by Jacob, the play travels from the tragic night to prison, and from a restorative justice program to the meeting with Joan and David. “It astonished me that they wanted me to make something of myself,” Dunne told The Guardian. “It gave me a lot of strength.” A story of redemption, Punch also possesses warmth, humor, and hope. —Jeanne Malle
