TRANSFERRING TO THE WEST END ON 10TH SEPTEMBER

Richard Bean and Nicholas Hytner follows up their 2012 surprise hit One Man, Two Guv'nors with a satirically biting expose into the world of press freedom and phone hacking, just hot on the heels of the recent hacking trial verdicts.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Billie Piper stars as ambitious young news editor Paige Britain in Richard Bean's satirical new play looking at press freedom, government and the police. How far is she prepared to go, in order to capture new audiences and keep hold of her regular readers? This play is fast, anarchic furious and is expected to cause waves in the West End, not to mention some red faced just down the road in Whitehall. A must see for political afficianados and followers of the Leveson Enquiry.

Piper has previously been seen on stage in Effects, for which she garnered Best Actress Olivier and Evening Standard award nominations, and has also starred in Reasons to be Pretty, and Treats.
