After the War, Comes the War Within
During the London Blitz, George "Punchy" Armstrong is left physically scarred and feeling worthless. His abusive father's return from the War in Europe convinces him he is unlovable. This belief deepens with the mysterious apparition of Punchy's personified Ego pushing him toward a life of crime.
Despite this, Punchy’s personified Soul also emerges, gifting him a love interest, a salt-of-the-earth community, and an unexpected talent—the ability to write and reluctantly sing his songs with the the local band earning their keep at the Jameson’s Arms!
A humorous and poignant battle ensues as Ego and Soul vie to influence Punchy’s decisions within the formidable terrain of love, loss, and personal transformation. Can Punchy learn to love himself or will Ego lead him to a path of destruction?
Life-affirming gig-theatre.
