Fake News by Osman Baig at Waterloo East Theatre | Review
Hitting us hard with the buzz-phrase of the year, Osman Baig in association with Paragon Theatre Collective presents us with a story of Fake News in this one-of-a-kind one-man show. The first thing to note about Fake News is that it’s odd. It’s odd right from the outset with its theme music and video introduction sequence.
