NIGHT AND DAY by Tom Stoppard

Drama

The action takes place in the imaginary African state of Kambawe, which is undergoing a civil war against a dictatorial President. The main subject of the play is British journalism - the relationships and competitiveness between rival journalists. Underlying both themes is that of the freedom of the press and, more widely, freedom itself.
