• Damages at The Bridewell Theatre

  Drama

  21 Feb 2012 to 25 Feb 2012

  With more revelations every week about Fleet Street's phone-hacking scandal, this is the perfect time for a play about tabloid hacks with the scent of a story in their nostrils. This sharply witty redtop newspaper piece from the writer of the Tower's 2010 production of Whipping it Up takes place in real time (a large clock on the newsroom wall is set to 6 p.m. at curtain up), intensifying the pressure of the looming deadline to get the paper out. And it's not just funny: behind the play's humour sit some important questions about public interest and the balance between freedom of the press and the right to privacy.
