| Summary |
First produced at the National Theatre in London in May 1985, 'Pravda' is a satirical play exploring the role of journalism in society. Taking its title from the Russian Communist Party newspaper, it is a satire on the mid 1980s newspaper industry, in particular the Australian media and press baron Rupert Murdoch. Lambert Le Roux is a media magnate striding his way through the regional papers en route to Fleet Street. Turning broadsheets tabloid, dumbing down the message and stretching the truth, Le Roux takes no prisoners as he creates a media monopoly out of a once-respected industry. |
