Punk Rock by Simon Stephens

PUNK ROCK explores the underlying tensions and potential violence in a group of affluent, articulate seventeen year old students. Contemporary and unnerving, 'Punk Rock' follows the story of seven sixth-formers as they face up to the pressures of teenage life, while preparing for their mock A-levels and trying to get into Oxbridge. They are a group of educated, intelligent and aspirational young people but step-by-step, the dislocation, disjunction and latent violence simmering under the surface is revealed.
