After making waves in the West End James Graham's scintillating play INK has landed on Broadway. A look at the rise of the tabloid, The Sun, and its notorious leader Rupert Murdoch, what did the critics think of this latest Brit import?
The New York Post was full of praise for the production saying, "Nothing about Graham's unexpectedly seductive play...is ever less than rousing. The show is hoisted even higher by director Rupert Goold, doing his best work". They continued with praise for leading stars, Bertie Carvel and Johnny Lee Miller with "...Carvel...makes Murdoch into a magnetic, eccentric Confucius of the news business. Just as good is Miller, who, as the intrepid and inspired Lamb, challenges his staff to inject "a bit of fun" into their new creation. "Ink" is way more than just a bit of fun."
The Washington Post mirrored this sentiment by calling INK "engrossing" and "richly detailed". Vulture said that INK was "directed with plenty of pop and fizz" continuing with "driven by compelling performances of Bertie Carvel and Johnny Lee Miller, it's both playful and thoughtful".
Deadline led with praise of Olivier award winner Carvel and stage favorite Johnny Lee Miller with "Miller and Carvel give two of the most commanding performances of the Broadway season" before dubbing INK as "clever and smart".
What is INK about?
Giving the people what they want, not what they actually need to know. That became the defining tenent of both the now-defunct News Of The World, and its daily sister paper, The Sun. Formerly known prior to 1964 as the Daily Herald; it became a tabloid in 1969 after it was purchased by Murdoch's News Corp. Graham's ruthless three hour epic examines the rise of the tabloid phenomenon in arresting and dazzling style. A must-see for journalists and readers alike, this biting new play will throw new light on the news tycoon and his controversial practices.
INK is now playing at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre through to June 23.
