Tony winner Victoria Clark has joined the cast of James Graham’s “Punch.” Performances begin on September 9 at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. The production, directed by Adam Penford, officially opens on September 29.
A two-time Tony Award winner for her performances in “The Light in the Piazza” and “Kimberly Akimbo,” Clark will play Joan, the mother of a murder victim. Additional newly announced cast members include Cody Kostro (Broadway’s ‘Six Degrees of Separation’) as Raf/Sam and Piter Marek (Broadway’s ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’) as Tony/Derek/DS Villers.
They join the previously announced Will Harrison as Jacob, Camila Canó-Flaviá as Clare/Nicola, Sam Robards as David/Raf’s Dad and Lucy Taylor as Mum/Wendy.
Based on the book “Right from Wrong” by Jacob Dunne, Punch centers on Jacob, a young man who makes a fatal mistake that lands him in prison. But as he struggles to accept the consequences of his actions and build a new life, he finds an unusual source of salvation: the parents of the boy he killed.
The Broadway production will run simultaneously with a West End staging this fall. Both are directed by Penford.
