Don’t answer ‘why’, and a story can run forever.
Fleet Street, 1969. Brash Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch acquires The Sun – a neglected, Labour-supporting newspaper on its last legs – enlisting disgruntled sub-editor Larry Lamb to resurrect the publication in record time. Recruiting a motley squad of Fleet Street’s most undervalued journalists, they set out to break the rules, upend the system, and prove they can outsell the establishment that has long looked down on them. Murdoch has a vision for his new paper: a kind of tabloid journalism that will transform British media forever.
Nominated for Best Play at the Olivier and Tony Awards, James Graham’s electrifying historical drama is an insightful incision into the heart of the British press, and those who made it what it is today.
