Following a sold out run at London’s National Theatre, Network transfers to Broadway’s Belasco Theatre for a limited engagement. Based on the Academy Award-winning 1976 film, this new play by Lee Hall and visionary director Ivo van Hove shines a satirical light on fake news and media manipulations, with a soaring central performance from Bryan Cranston.
News anchorman Howard Beale can’t seem to get viewers tuning in, until he spectacularly unravels live on-air. As ratings soar, his network seizes the opportunity to capitalize on their unlikely new star and Howard suddenly becomes the biggest thing on TV. Combining live performance with an immersive multimedia set, Network is a darkly funny play delving into fake news and the rise of populism.
