About The Story

When a white teacher is killed in a black neighbourhood, four journalists race to get the headline – at any cost. But when shocking new evidence pulls them into the dark heart of the case, they are each forced to confront what they’re prepared to risk to tell their version of the truth.

Gripping and adrenaline-fuelled, Tracey Scott Wilson’s seminal newsroom thriller is directed by Clint Dyer (Death of England) with a cast including BAFTA Award-winner Letitia Wright (Black Panther), Ashley Thomas (MOBO Award- winner, Bashy), Lorraine Toussaint (Orange is the New Black), and Wilf Scolding (Cabaret).

For assisted performances, please book directly through the National Theatre.
