{"product_id":"punk-rock-1","title":"Punk Rock","description":"Simon Stephens' new play, published to coincide with its world premiere at the Lyric Hammersmith and The Royal Exchange, Manchester. 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-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 of success is revealed.Author: Simon Stephens,author\nContributors: Simon Stephens,author\nBinding: paperback\nNumber Of Pages: 112\nPublication Date: \nRelease Date: \nLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis\nPublished\/Release Date: 3 Sep 2009\nFormat: Paperback \/ softback\nPublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\nAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Simon Stephens\nDimension (cm): 227x229x3 mm\nPackage Dimension (cm): 12x197x128 mm\nItem Weight (g): 100\nPackage Weight (g): 79","brand":"Bloomsbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67676802122025,"sku":"BK1408126362","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/9781408126363_14f430be-bb1a-4bf9-b57d-4b04452d05a9.jpg?v=1793374887","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/en-us\/products\/punk-rock-1","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
