Description 'Living Newspaper' was the hallmark production of the company's first decade. The idea came from a tradition of American travelling troupes who performed the daily news during the Depression. We weren't so much performing the news, as satirising the role of the media. The show's
themes included media monopolies, press misrepresentation, and the problem of editorial control.
