And as for the play itself, read what critics had to say about the new work's Broadway bow here.

Punch, coming to Broadway following a London premiere, is currently scheduled to continue through November 2, with Adam Penford at the helm.

The work 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.

The Broadway cast features Camila Canó-Flaviá as Clare and Nicola; Will Harrison as Jacob; Sam Robards as David and Raf’s Dad; Lucy Taylor as Mum and Wendy; two-time Tony winner Victoria Clark as the victim’s mother, Joan and Nan; Cody Kostro as Raf and Sam; and Piter Marek as Tony, Derek, and DS Villers. The ensemble includes Kim Fischer, Jacob Orr, and Amber Reauchean Williams, with understudies Judith Lightfoot Clarke and Ben Livingston rounding out the company.
