The Story at National Theatre

Head to the National Theatre for The Story, a gripping newsroom thriller making its UK premiere on the South Bank. When a white teacher is killed in a Black neighbourhood, four journalists race to break the story — but as new evidence emerges, each is forced to question how far they are prepared to go for the truth. Written by Tracey Scott Wilson and directed by Clint Dyer, the production stars BAFTA Award-winner Letitia Wright alongside Ashley Thomas, Lorraine Toussaint and Wilf Scolding. Just a short walk from Sea Containers London, it’s an unmissable night of theatre in the heart of the South Bank.
