The Shallow End to open at Southwark Playhouse Feb 8- March 3

By:

Stone Junction presents The Shallow End by Doug Lucie. The show is directed by Sebastien Blanc, and designed by Kev Rice.

8th February 2012 to 3rd March 2012
PRESS NIGHT: FRIDAY, 10TH FEBRUARY 2012 AT 7.45PM

Doug Lucie’s satire opens at Southwark Playhouse’s Main House for a four week run on 10 February 2012 with previews from 8 February 2012

“The press is the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man, and improving him as a rational, moral and social being”

Thomas Jefferson

The Shallow End is a hilarious, biting satire that attacks the mercenary agenda in the UK’s media. Set in the 90s, amidst the wedding celebrations of a media mogul’s daughter, the axe is about to be wielded. The old-guard of a recently taken-over broadsheet paper are presented with the dilemma of yielding to the philosophy of the new regime, thus compromising their own professional and moral values, or be ousted from it.

Unmasking a heightened world of seduction and power, The Shallow End walks the stark moral battle lines that were drawn at the dawn of a new age in British media.
