@johnharris1969.bsky.social It really is a brilliant piece. I'm in my 26th year of being an unpaid carer. It's exhausting, lonely, impoverishing, stressful & isolating & now @teamlabouruk.bsky.social want to make it even more difficult. #LifeInTheSpecialNeedsGhetto

On stage, a man in a white shirt and blue jeans is crouched in a tunnel, wearing a concerned expression. His left arm leans against the wall, and his right hand rests on his knee. He is backlit, so his shadow is prominent against the wall. Text reads: Integral to the success of Punch … is the faultless direction from Adam Penford, unafraid to stray from convention.

On stage, a small group of people are caught mid-air, sitting and falling down a curved ramp, as if on a rollercoaster, arms raised. A young man in a white shirt looks out. Text reads: Adam Penford’s direction which is always sensitive, and is marked by an almost balletic grace.
