Pravda
David Hare
Main CharactersLambert Le Roux: A ruthless, charismatic media mogul who treats the truth as a commodity and views the traditional British press as weak and ripe for takeover. Andrew May: A young, ambitious journalist who starts with high ideals but is gradually corrupted and discarded by Le Roux’s manipulative management style. Rebecca Foley: Andrew’s wife and a woman of integrity who serves as the moral compass of the play, witnessing her husband's descent into Le Roux's world.
First Performance: 1985, at Olivier Theatre (National Theatre), London
Major triumph; Anthony Hopkins' performance as Le Roux is considered one of the greatest in modern British theater history.
