The Stage
“The cost of disagreeing in the new world brings celebrity. The only real thing *you* have to pay attention to—the sound of the free press drowning out the lies.”
A television journalist and a politician clash live on-air. What begins as a traditional interview slowly unfolds into a waking nightmare. A trap has been set: which side will walk into it? A darkly comic, dystopian glimpse of Britain’s near future: experienced entirely in palindromic form.
