Broadway says goodbye to the Main Stem premiere run of James Graham's critically acclaimed play Punch with a final performance at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre November 2, part of the Manhattan Theatre Club season. The production has also been streaming a recorded performance for its final week on the boards, with one last streaming window available that begins at 2 PM ET on November 2. Streaming ticket holders have 24 hours to watch the performance.

The work, which arrives stateside after a world premiere run at the U.K.'s Nottingham Playhouse, is adapted from Jacob Dunne's book Right From Wrong, centered on Dunne's real-life story of a tragic mistake that turned fatal. The play follows Jacob as he contends with the consequences of his actions, finding an unusual source of hope in the parents of the boy he killed. The play is making a simultaneous transfer to London's West End, playing the Apollo Theatre through November 29.
