'Everything human beings do finishes up bad in the end. Everything
good human beings ever make is built on something monstrous.
Nothing lasts. We certainly won't...' Based on his experience as a
teacher, Stephens describes his play as 'The History Boys on
crack'. It explores the underlying tensions and potential violence
in a group of affluent, articulate seventeen year old students.
Contemporary and unnerving, with elements of The Catcher in the
Rye, 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-level exams 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 of prosperity is revealed.
