The American premiere of Ink will begin performances on Broadway April 2 in a production from Manhattan Theatre Club and London's Almeida Theatre. Written by Olivier Award winner James Graham and directed by two-time Olivier Award winner and Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold, the production stars Bertie Carvel as Rupert Murdoch alongside Jonny Lee Miller as Larry Lamb.
Ink follows a brash, young Rupert Murdoch on the verge of founding the U.K.’s most influential newspaper in 1969 London. The show transferred to the West End last fall following an acclaimed, sold-out world premiere at the Almeida.
