Tom William Mitchell
This razor-sharp satire on hyper-mediatised society examines the rise of contemporary populism, and how maybe we’re all just a few clicks away from stardom.
Written and directed by Mark Rogers, this dizzying new production mashes up TV news with contemporary theatre aesthetics, creating a piece of new writing for the here and now.
Sensationalist, overblown and completely untrue, Tom William Mitchell is news and politics in extreme close-up.
