What readers are saying
Readers feel that the play provides a rushed portrayal of Murdoch's backstory, leaving little room for deeper exploration. While some aspects of his rise to power are intriguing, the overall pacing detracts from the experience.

Synopsis
David Williamson tackles the rise and rise of ex-Australian citizen and one of the planets most powerful, influential and feared men, Rupert Murdoch.
Spanning most of Murdoch's lifetime, Williamson asks who the real Rupert Murdoch is and tries to uncover what makes this complex and fascinating character tick.
In the process Williamson peels back the façade and we glimpse the character of an apex predator who almost single-handedly built a media empire that spans the entire globe.
