It's 1969 London. The brash young Rupert Murdoch purchases a struggling paper, The Sun, and
sets out to make it a must-read smash which will destroy - and ultimately horrify - the competition. He brings on rogue editor Larry Lamb who in turn recruits an unlikely team of underdog reporters. Together, they will go to any lengths for success and the race for the most Ink is on! Inspired by real events and a recent hit in London's West End, James Graham's electrifying new play comes to Broadway in the exhilarating Almeida Theatre production, directed by Rupert Goold.Tickets for Ink are available at Telecharge.com, by calling 212-239-6200, or by visiting The Samuel J.
