Samuel Goldwyn Films has released the trailer for filmmaker Mirrah Foulkes Judy & Punch starring Mia Wasikowska, Damon Herriman, Terry Norris, Gillian Jones, Tom Budge, Benedict Hardie, Lucy Velik. In a visceral and dynamic live-action reinterpretation of the famous 16th-century puppet show, writer-director Mirrah Foulkes turns the traditional story of Punch and Judy on its head and brings to life a fierce, darkly comic and epic female-driven revenge story.
SYNOPSIS: In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy (Mia Wasikowska) and Punch (Damon Herriman) are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy’s superior puppeteering, but Punch’s driving ambition and penchant for whiskey lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge.
