Tom and Robert’s new play is coming to The King’s Head in 2026.
It’s 1985 and Brenda Dean is the first woman to lead a major British trade union. But she quickly faces a crisis as Rupert Murdoch unleashes his clandestine plans to revolutionise the production of British newspapers.
With 5,000 jobs on the line and the future of newspapers in the balance, she decides to take on Murdoch and his growing global media empire. But with time running out, and Murdoch’s influence growing, can she pull together the might of the unions to bring him down?
From the writers of ★★★★★ box office smash The Gang of Three comes this politically charged thriller about “The Battle of Wapping”. A year-long clash of wills between Rupert Murdoch and Brenda Dean where treachery, secret plots, technological change and civil unrest collide.
A gripping true story of power, print and protest, that changed Fleet Street forever.
