Written and performed by Hassan Mahamdallie, Directed by Stef O’Driscoll. Creative team: Sound design, Dom Kennedy. Design, Rosie Elnile. Motion design, Carlton Matthews. Choreography, Annie-Lunette Deakin-Foster. Produced by Isobel Hawson.

Part documentary, part musical journey and part coming of age, PUNK DAYS is the story of a mixed race, working-class kid growing up in 1970’s London, plagued by racism, who finds hope and liberation in the power of Punk Rock.
