Punchy! The Musical is the story of the wayward & conflicted George ‘Punchy’ Armstrong as he attempts to overcome the crimes of his young adulthood in post-war London. His path to transformation is witnessed by the alarming appearance of his Ego & Soul & their struggle to influence his decisions… Peasant Man Productions brings you a tough, poignant & innovative NEW musical! Expect a raucous, affecting night of ‘gig-theatre’ that will enlighten, amuse & move you in equal measure. There’s definitely no jazz hands & glitter here, as you drink in the sound of the on-stage band earning their keep in the Jameson’s Arms. Composer Jack Terroni’s soundtrack is not beholden to the sound of the 1950s and beguiles the audience with a contemporary mix of powerful soul, indie rock & pop songs. This eclectic soundscape sets the tone for the curious characters of ‘Soul’ & ‘Ego’ to play with the very fabric of time, in the heart of an ordinary working class London community. Can Punchy find his authentic self or will Ego lead him to a path of destruction? Produced by Jack Terroni and de factor co-producer Joan Lane (The King's Speech). Punchy! is directed by Tiffany King (Respect: Aretha Franklin songbook). Dialogue by playwright Kevin McMahon (Windsor Fringe Finalist) based on the thought-leading work of Author and Life Coach Richard Barrett (What my Soul told me). The soundtrack is produced by triple platinum-selling Record Producer Steve Brown (Laura Mvula/Rumer) All ages
