Cast of On the Record (L - R: Paul Bhattacharjee, Trevor White, Nathalie Armin, Michelle Bonnard, Kika Markham, Selva Rasalingam and Kika Markham)

"When I'm writing articles, I'm not scared at all. I'm on a high. It's such a rush. The fear comes later."

iceandfire are proud to announce that On the Record opens in less than a week!

Combining searing verbatim testimony with dramatic reconstruction, On the Record follows true stories of six independent journalists, all linked by their determination to shed light on the truth. 

With a stellar cast as seen in the photo above, and directed by Michael Longhurst (Stovepipe, Dirty Butterfly), On the Record runs from 20th July - 13th August as part of the opening season at the wonderful new Arcola venue
