Description
Richard Bean’s fast and furious new play is an anarchic and foul-mouthed satire about the press, the police and the political establishment. Paige Britain is the ambitious, morally-bankrupt young news editor of The Free Press, a tabloid newspaper locked in a never-ending battle for more readers.

Reviews
-
Astounding. The most detailed stage satire I have ever seen.
**** Financial Times
-
A timely look at the tangled relationship between the press, politicians and the police. It's barbed and very funny.
**** Evening Standard
-
Blessedly funny. Bracing topicality. Richard Bean doesn't do things by halves.
**** Guardian
-
Laughter-making on an industrial scale. The NT is on exhilarating and exemplary form.
**** Independent
-
Terrific acting and slick direction. Bluntly entertaining comedy.
**** Telegraph
