Jacob is just looking for a bit of fun when he joins his mates at a pub fight, but an impulsive punch has fatal consequences. When Jacob returns from prison, angry and rudderless, the last thing he expects is a letter from his victim’s parents. A kinetic and unflinching look at grief, masculinity, justice, and forgiveness. David Muse directs this Olivier-Award winning play as his last production as Studio’s Artistic Director.

James dedicated his life to the helping and healing of others. His 28 years were a testament to his outlook and values – a volunteer, a mentor, a paramedic. He was loved by his family and friends, and gave love in return.
Theatre can and should be a restorative space of empathy, and increased understanding. We hope to honour and do justice to the man James was.
