Hacked: A dramatic take on the phone hacking scandal

It was only a matter of time, but a London theatre group are going to be putting on a show inspired by the phone hacking scandal.

There's no Murdoch's in sight but it's an interesting concept they've come up with, their team of writers will listen to a volunteer's voicemail and spin a tale based on what they hear. At the end of the show the original voicemail messages will be played to the audience.

The blurb for the show reads:

All across London, phones are being hacked. Only now it's playwrights stealing the stories of brave volunteers. Will they score a scoop, or will they have to use a little artistic licence? And which will make the better story: the facts or the fiction?

It's on at Theatre503 in Battersea from September 27th to October 3rd. You can apply to be 'hacked' here.
