Ink

It’s 1969 London and Rupert Murdoch wants to take on the British establishment. He buys the failing Sun newspaper and with his disaffected but brilliant and ruthless editor Larry Lamb, plans to make a new kind of paper, one that gives people what they want – one that will knock the Daily Mirror off its perch. Seriously under-resourced, with just a small disparate band of hacks and against all the odds The Sun rapidly becomes Britain’s best selling newspaper. But giving the people what they want comes at a cost.

As Murdoch tells his editor “I want something loud” and that’s just what we get. Fast paced and funny, Ink is the foundation story of the modern Sun newspaper, written by our foremost ‘state of the nation’ playwright and screen writer James Graham (This House, Dear England, Sherwood, Quiz, Brexit: The Uncivil War).
