Media satire: Billie Piper in Great Britain
10 July 2014
A night out for privacy campaign group Hacked Off, or was it a work trip? Steve Coogan, Hugh Grant, Leveson barrister David Sherborne and former MP Evan Harris took their seats front and centre at the National Theatre last night. Their play of choice? Great Britain, the media satire written during the hacking trial. Billie Piper stars as an ambitious, immoral, tabloid news editor going to ruthless measures to get a story. One wonders if the group couldn’t find something a little less of a busman’s holiday.
