World Premiere Ink based on a true story (TIFF 2026) + Dinner -Princess of Wales

Note: This is a premium performance. **On Tuesday September 15th,** **see Ink at the 51st edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), my second choice for movies after Fjord**. Fast-paced and gripping, Boyle’s *Ink* traces the dark journalistic legacy of *The Sun* that continues to reverberate today. Director Danny Boyle (TIFF ’08’s People Choice Award winner *Slumdog Millionaire*) stylishly adapts playwright James Graham’s wild recounting of how *The Sun* became one of the most successful newspapers in British history while launching tabloid culture. I am in Dress Circle Seat D38. **Purchase Ink on Tuesday September 15th at 2:30pm.** Rupert Murdoch (Guy Pearce, *The Brutalist*, TIFF ’24) persuades newspaper editor Larry Lamb (Jack O’Connell) to oversee his newly acquired but flagging daily, *The Sun*. But how to grab readers in the highly competitive British media market? Be extreme, throwing anything onto the page that will make a splash, the more titillating, the better. The tactic works, and soon the notorious *Sun* sees a massive spike in circulation. The goal of casting a wide net for new readers creates just enough space for one woman (Claire Foy) to break through and pitch articles with a modern woman’s perspective. It’s not long before she starts to brush against the limits of the prevailing boys’ club culture within the industry. And as readership numbers rise, so do the paper’s detractors. **COST** Regular Cost: $98 + fees Meetup Organizer Fee: $5 **Ticket Policy**: All sales are final, no refunds or exchanges. **SIGNING-UP** * **RSVP Yes (Everyone goes on the waitlist until they post their seat number or state they will be doing Rush.)** * **[Purchase](https://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/1000650B16C93807)** **your own ticket for Tuesday, September 15th at 2:30pm**, post your seat number and I will move you to going. Note: tickets are still available at time of posting, and I have had 8 opportunities to buy tickets to-date, so keep trying if it says currently sold out. * Rush is also possible, requiring you to line up 1 hour before showtime. 15 mins prior to start time, an attendance check is completed and any available seats are sold at regular price + $2 A reminder will be sent the day before with my cell and reminder details where to meet and when. RSVPs close 2 days prior. Cancellations will result in a No Show and impact future attendance. **MEETUP TIME** **Meet me for the Show at: 2pm inside the Princess of Wales Theatre at 300 King St. W**, **on the ground floor** **to the right side of the box office after scanning your tickets.** **Start: 2:30pm** Length: 1 hour 56 mins After: we're heading out right after for dinner and can talk along the way. After: meet at the initial meeting spot to chat about the show and head out. Enjoy and please post your comments in the Event after.
