Synopsis

THE Augustine Early, a crooked journalist, has made an art of clawing his way up the professional ladder.

When he turns a politician's tawdry predilections into front-page news, the scandal threatens to undo the one person he thought was immune.

A searing and hilarious play about catching the perfect headline, whatever the cost.
