WANTED: Too Much Punch for Judy production photos

We’re preparing a special 40th anniversary edition of Mark Wheeller’s Too Much Punch for Judy – and we’d love to include some of its performance history in the new book.

If you’re a drama teacher, former student, performer or director who has been involved in a production over the years, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for photographs from school, college, youth theatre and other productions of Too Much Punch for Judy, from any point in its 40-year history.

If you have a photo you’d be happy for us to consider for inclusion in the new printed edition, please send it to us along with:

• the name of the school, college or theatre company
• the year of the production, if known
• the names of anyone pictured, where possible
• a short caption or memory from the production
• confirmation that you have permission for the photograph to be reproduced

Please get in touch with us at Salamander Street.

And if you know someone who performed in Too Much Punch for Judy years ago, tag them or send this post their way. We’d love to see how the play has been brought to life over the past four decades.

Before 24 February 2022, there was school, football, music, friends, family, pets and plans for the future.

Then everything changed.

In 24 Feb 22: What A Difference A Day Makes, Mark Wheeller uses the real words of young people and families from Ukraine, alongside voices from the Lichfield community, to explore what happens when ordinary life is suddenly divided into before and after.

The new verbatim play is published by Salamander Street on 22 September, the same day Lichfield Cathedral School gives its first public performance at Lichfield Cathedral.

A new Mark Wheeller play is coming.

24 Feb 22: What A Difference A Day Makes is Mark’s first new play since Pandemexplosion.

Created with Lichfield Cathedral School and drawn from real testimony, the play gives voice to young Ukrainians, British host families and a school community responding to the events of 24 February 2022.

It is a play about the moment ordinary lives are divided into before and after — and about fear, displacement, welcome, kindness and the fragile idea of home.

Published by Salamander Street on 22 September.

Coming soon: PALS by Mirren Wilson

Sadie, Flo, Claire and Taylor are best pals, approaching thirty and wondering when everyone else became proper adults.

So they do what any perfectly sensible group of friends would do: ditch a housewarming party and head for the Scottish hills.

What follows is a chaotic weekend of bad packing, big laughs, buried worries and a friendship pushed well beyond its comfort zone.

Funny, frank and full of heart, PALS: Perfectly Average Lassies of Scotland is a four-woman play about friendship, growing up, Scottish identity and the pressure to have life figured out.

The play opens at Dundee Fringe on Sunday 13 September, with the published edition coming soon from Salamander Street.
