Punch and Judy

This high-energy, irreverent, darkly-comedic piece is physical comedy at its best. It takes the patriarchy, police violence, sexual assault and even a bit of the current presidential race to their limits, showing them at their grotesque best.

Whatever you do, DO NOT miss this show. Holy...wow!... full review
