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 was first staged Off-Broadway in 2003. It receives its UK premiere at the National Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Clint Dyer and with a cast including BAFTA Award-winner Letitia Wright, Ashley Thomas, Lorraine Toussaint and Wilf Scolding.
