OH WELL NEVER MIND BYE by Steven Lally

 

Australian Premiere

 

James Fisher's news team are struggling to write up the day's events in time for the evening deadline. When police shoot a man dead at Stockwell underground station, their responsibility to report the truth is tested by political pressure, professional rivalry, career expediency and personal resentment.

 

Oh Well Never Mind Bye is a an engrossing and wryly understated political drama that explores the rise of "churnalism" fueling the 24-hour news cycle, against the backdrop of the 2005 terrorist attacks in London.
