Network (play)

Network is a play by Lee Hall, adapted from the 1976 film of the same name which had an Academy Award–winning screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky and was directed by Sidney Lumet.

[4] The production premiered on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre, with previews beginning on 10 November 2018 and officially opening on 6 December 2018.

Originally, the production was scheduled to run for 18 weeks only to 17 March, but extended multiple times before closing on 8 June 2019, the day before Cranston won the Tony.

Cranston reprises the role of Howard Beale alongside Tatiana Maslany in her Broadway debut as Diana Christensen[7] and Tony Goldwyn as Max Schumacher.

[8] The plot closely follows that of the 1976 film but uses stage devices and audio visual technology to immerse the audience as participants.
