Pravda
Chicago
Premiere
By Howard Brenton and David Hare
Directed by Louis Contey
Set in the booming 1980s, PRAVDA is
the hilarious battle between an unscrupulous newspaper
magnate and his idealistic editor over the integrity
of the press. After Lambert Le Roux buys up London’s
Fleet Street papers, he uses them to serve his political
and financial whims, testing Andrew May’s willpower
and principles. This hard-hitting satire by two of the
most provocative playwrights of our time examines the
public’s hunger for sensationalism and the objectivity
of our news.
Director Louis Contey returns, after
recently directing IT'S
ALL TRUE and also TimeLine’s AWAKE
AND SING! during our 2002-03 season.
