Clearly the reverse order in the title is meant to show that this is not your typical take on the centuries old tale of jovial spousal abuse. And indeed it is not.
Like the source, it is a dark comedy (with literal gallows humor). Punch's behavior is ramped up to horrific levels which makes Judy's revenge all the more apropos.
I don't want to say it gets a little heavy with its message. But of course, there is nothing subtle the original story. Because if you were wondering about the crocodile, that is from the original tale. As are the dog, the Devil, the ghost and the constable.
Oh and it has anachronistic music much like A Knight's Tale.
