Albee to replace LaBute

We are very pleased to announce that triple-Pulitzer Award winning, playwright, Edward Albee will be stepping in...

owing to the re-scheduling of a film which Neil LaBute will be writing and directing, starring Chris Rock, Inscription has had to replace LaBute at late notice. Playwright Edward Albee has defined modern American theatre with four decades of provocative, controversial and brilliant plays. A three-time Pulitzer Prize-winner, The New Yorker has called him “the greatest living playwright.”

Marcus West at Seven

Inscription's Director has signed an exclusive deal with the Seven Network working with news and current affair presenters.

He will work in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth and regional Queensland.

Seven's News and Current Affairs Director, Peter Meakin is delighted with the development "There’s more to television journalism these days than a mere recitation of facts. Faced with competitors who get smarter and more numerous every year, we have to place more emphasis on the whole 'package'. That, of course, is a euphemism for many things – including confidence on camera, voice, body language and wardrobe. I’m not sure that I’d pay much attention to Marcus West’s advice on sartorial matters but he is pretty damn good at the rest. He knows how to get a message across and that’s why he’s a valued member of our team."
