Satirical deep-dive into modern journalism's heart.

If you're intrigued by the world of media moguls and the twisting corridors of journalistic ethics, then Pravda is your stage. The play's wicked satire cuts to the bone of press barony, using humor to dissect the serious implications of media control over public consciousness. It's a vivid portrayal of ambition and power in the frenzied world of Fleet Street, offering laughs and chills in equal measure.

Description

Pravda (which means "truth") is a comedy of excess which, for the first time puts modern Fleet Street on the stage. "Pravda is an epic comedy - part The Front Page, part Arturo Ui - in which a press baron resembling Rupert Murdoch…does battle with over 30 characters as he conquers Fleet Street journalism and by implication, liberal England's soul." (Frank Rich, New York Times) This is Howard Brenton's and David Hare's first collaboration since Brassneck in 1973. It was premiered at The National Theatre in spring 1985 and awarded the London Standard Best Play Award, the City Limits Best Play Award and the Plays and Players Best Play Award.
