Tom Could Return to Stage in ‘Punk Rock’ Reprise
July 27th, 2010 by Katie received Comments OffThe Lyric Hammersmith Theater just released it’s line-up for this season, and Punk Rock will again be on stage at the theater:
In addition to the already announced new play by Richard Bean, The Big Fellah (21 Sep to 16 Oct) and the pantomime Dick Whittington (27 Nov to 8 Jan), the season also includes Sarah Kane’s seminal play Blasted, a new play about a teacher accused of racial harassment, Mogadishu, and the return of Simon Stephens’s Punk Rock.
The latter opens the season on 6 September, running for just two weeks prior to a UK tour. Exploring the latent violence and discontent that simmers below the surface in a group of aspirational students at an English grammar school, Punk Rock achieved acclaim when it first played at the Lyric Hammersmith in September 2009, with young actor Tom Sturridge winning Most Promising Newcomer at the Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards.
While the play itself will definitely return, there’s been no word yet as to whether or not the play will include the original cast. We will be sure to keep you updated!
