Punk Rock is returning to the Lyric as well as touring a few other theatres in the UK and there was speculation about whether Tom would be back in the play.

Now, Broadwayworld has an article about the play and unfortunately Tom is not part of it.

Congrats to Tom! He won the Most Promising Newcomer award at the Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards for his role in Punk Rock! This is his second award for his role in Punk Rock (he previously won Best Newcomer at the MEN Theatre Awards).

A few websites have posted articles about their Year in Review of Theatre, and most of them included Tom!

What’s On Stage:

Another was probably Simon Stephens’ Punk Rock at the Lyric Hammersmith, where Sean Holmes launched a new regime that meant business, following the Stephens – in which newcomer Tom Sturridge shone as a troubled Stockport sixth-former in a copy-cat re-hash of the Columbine School Massacre – with a superb revival of Trevor Griffiths’ Comedians.

The Guardian:

Simon Stephens’s Punk Rock – Sean Holmes’s first show as artistic director of the Lyric Hammersmith – featured the outstanding Tom Sturridge as a schoolboy slowly rumpling into murderous madness.

London Informer:

The young cast were all superb, especially Tom Sturridge as the increasingly erratic oddball William, and the dialogue was snappy and at times intensely lyrical.

The Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards were held today and Tom won the award for Best Newcomer, for his role in Punk Rock!

Congrats to Tom!
