The Old Vic, 103 The Cut, Southbank, SE1 8NB

Theatre: , Melodrama, Thriller

Kevin Spacey assumes his Director's Hat once again at the Old Vic for this brand new, contemporary satire/thriller about a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who suddenly falls foul of the authorities and finds himself facing a dilemma of his own creation, in front of the Supreme Court no less.

It's Bush's America and suddenly the truth seeking, liberty-defending traditions which saw Ben Kritzler acclaimed by his peers and the public, have gotten him tagged a dangerous insurrectionist.

Expect a strongly anti-Republican, anti-war and pro-libertarian slant on this brand new work: there's also the small matter ffo the cast, which features Richard Dreyfuss, Elizabeth McGovern and David Suchet. You read that right.
