PUNK ROCK by Simon Stephens
March 28 - April 7, 2013 • Studio Theatre
Tickets (860) 486-2113 or http://crt.uconn.edu/
Variety calls Simon Stephens "one of the most important and exciting British playwrights working today..." His play PUNK ROCK , set at a British boarding school, is inspired by the 1999 Columbine shooting, which Stephens says, "felt like the start of the 21st century." Ferociously funny, complex, contemporary and unnerving, PUNK ROCK explores the underlying jittery tensions, hormonal headiness and potential violence in a group of affluent, articulate seventeen-year-old students as they begin to plan for college and the rest of their lives. What happens when kids have the world at their feet, and its weight on their shoulders?
