Click here to watch an interview with Simon Stephens
Punk Rock is a play by the British playwright Simon Stephens which premiered at the Royal Exchange in 2009 and transferred to the Lyric Hammersmith directed by Sarah Frankcom. The play concerns a group of private school sixth formers during their A Level mocks exams.
The short pieces of loud distorted music are used to indicate scene changes, and it works, but Sonic Youth and The White Stripes aren’t punk.
