REVIEW: The Story
Reading Time: 3 minutesHow much can the media be trusted? This dilemma sits at the heart of Tracey Scott Wilson’s 2003 newsroom thriller The Story, making its UK debut at the National Theatre. Although today’s journalists may rely less on cold-calling for their leads, and perhaps care less about painstaking research, this question is as compelling in 2026. Similarly, The Story’s spotlight on racial tension has only gained potency over the last two decades. It’s an urgent, tense narrative that feels bang up–to-date.
