Casting announced for UK premiere of Punkplay

Casting has been announced for the UK premiere of Gregory S Moss' Punkplay.

Matthew Castle (Lord of the Flies) stars alongside Aysha Kala (Shameless, Indian Summers) while Sam Perry and Jack Sunderland will be making their professional debuts in the piece.

Tom Hughes, staff director to Rufus Norris on The Threepenny Opera at the National Theatre, directs Punkplay, which was staged in the US by Steppenwolf Theatre Company.

Punkplay is a coming-of-age story about not fitting in that follows Duck and Mickey living in '80s America. They escape from their mundane, suburban existence by listening to punk.

Punkplay runs at Southwark Playhouse from 9 September to 1 October, with previews from 7 September.
