The American premiere of James Graham's publishing drama Ink is set to open on Broadway April 24 at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre after beginning preview performances April 2. Based in 1969 London, the play follows a brash, young Rupert Murdoch on the verge of founding the U.K.’s most influential newspaper.

Ink, directed by Almeida Theatre's artistic director Rupert Goold, is presented on Broadway by Manhattan Theatre Club, London's Almeida, and Sonia Friedman Productions. The play arrives in the U.S. following an acclaimed debut at The Almeida and subsequent West End transfer.
