The London Review of Books is co-producing a new play with the National Theatre of Scotland. Enquirer is about the state of British journalism, its bad behaviour and its uncertain future. The play, which can also be seen as a debate, has been compiled from sixty hours of interviews with senior figures from every major English and Scottish newspaper, carried out by Deborah Orr, Ruth Wishart and Paul Flynn.

The interviews have been edited down by Andrew O’Hagan, a contributing editor at the LRB, together with the play’s directors. Enquirer is built from these extracts, just as the extremely successful Black Watch was based on interviews with members of the regiment, and has the same director, John Tiffany (the artistic director of the NTS, Vicky Featherstone, will co-direct).

The production will be constantly updated to take account of any new stories. The play is performed not in a theatre but in promenade spaces designed to mirror newspaper offices.

The cast includes Maureen Beatty (The Cherry Orchard, Lewis), John Bett (Antony and Cleopatra, Gregory’s Girl), James Anthony Pearson (Control), Gabriel Quigley (Dear Green Place), Billy Riddoch (Burke and Hare) and Hywel Simons (The Bill).

Tickets are in high demand for each performance. Therefore, we have given you the opportunity to enjoy exclusive videos, audio, photographs and cast interviews from the play at enquirer.lrb.co.uk.
