Description
Punk Rock by Simon Stephens explores the complexities of teenage life and the pressures that come with growing up. Set in a grammar school library, the play delves into the lives of intelligent and aspirational young people struggling to navigate their place in the world.
As they prepare for their mock A-Levels, William and his peers are faced with dislocation, disjunction, and latent aggression. The play is published here as a Student Edition, featuring commentary and notes by Catherine Love, which provides an introduction outlining the play's plot, character, themes, context, and performance history.
This edition includes the full text of the play, a chronology of the playwright's life and work, a detailed introductory analysis, extensive textual notes, and questions for further study. Please note that the play contains some strong language and violent scenes.
