AN AUDIENCE WITH JIMMY SAVILE
It’s 1991 and a TV show celebrates the life of the recently knighted ‘Most Trusted Man In Britain’. Whilst the good and the great praise him in the studio, a starkly different story unfolds in the shadows…
The story of how one man used fame, intimidation and manipulation to fool the very institutions we trust. Drawing extensively on material from genuine interviews, transcripts and TV shows, this is the first play to explore the most shocking sex scandal of our time: how Sir Jimmy Savile “groomed the nation”.
"Dark, shocking and totally compelling - a riveting insight into how Savile got away with it." - Elizabeth Day, journalist, The Observer
