Ink (★★★☆☆), co-produced by Round House and Olney, combines a talented cast with titillating text for a thorough chronicle of Rupert Murdoch’s typically rude 1969 takeover of British tabloid The Sun.Cody Nickell, portraying the paper’s exacting editor Larry Lamb, supplies the steady, galvanizing force that drives the story of how Lamb, handpicked by Australian media baron Murdoch (Andrew Rein), assembled a ragtag squad of Fleet Street vets who would carry out Rupe’s directive to create a paper for the people.
Its first act structured as a countdown to The Sun‘s unlikely launch, the production gathers steam as Lamb gathers his A-team.Yet, there’s one workhorse in this production who often upstages D.C.
faves like Craig Wallace, as Lamb’s former mentor and boss Hugh Cudlipp, and Ryan Rilette, who scores as Sun sports editor and self-described hack Frank Nicklin.
The scene-stealer is the stage, or more specifically, the sturdy concentric turntables set in the Round House stage that Loewith overuses to the point of distraction.Rotating furniture on and off, and the cast round and round, the revolves add movement, if not always pace or tension, to intricate transitions, theatrical montages of hushed drink meetings, and frantic races to meet deadlines.
