The Assassination Of Katie Hopkins
WINNER - BEST MUSICAL PRODUCTION - UK THEATRE AWARDS 2018
A shocking crime divides the nation. Fingers are pointed, sides are drawn, facts are hard to come by. Why did this happen? How do we move on? What must we remember?
It’s easy to have an opinion online, safe behind the anonymity of a keyboard, just like, share and subscribe. But as the digital mob polish their pitchforks, the world starts to question just how free should free speech be?
A smart, witty new musical about truth, celebrity and public outrage.
