The John Godber Company returns to Lincoln this Spring with a gritty modern morality tale, ‘One Punch’
One punch, one second, lives changed forever.
When two lifelong friends embark on a night out in Hull, what should have been a routine evening of shots, bars, laughs and a taxi home at two am turns into a nightmare.
Gritty, poignant and shocking, One Punch recounts a harrowing night on the town based on real events. How can a night out get so out of hand? How can one single blow alter so many lives? How can mates suddenly become enemies, and how can we stop it happening to others?
From the company behind the global hit Bouncers, One Punch is a rallying cry to take control of your emotions, especially in the heat of the moment.
Working in partnership with the charity One Punch Hull, this sell-out, high-energy production returns to theatres this Spring and holds nothing back in its depiction of the visceral realities of a good night gone bad.
The show is coming to Lincoln for one night only, so make sure to grab your tickets!
