In May 1926, Britain grinds to a halt, as workers down tools for the General Strike.

The stage is set for a fierce battle over control of the news and who gets to define the truth. Jack Thorne''s When Winston Went To War With The Wireless is a gripping play about the birth of a great British institution and its efforts to stay impartial.
