“State v. Nolan” is a courtroom drama set in a small American town in the early 1960s. The play centres on the trial of Herbert Nolan, the local newspaper editor, who is accused of manipulating information for personal gain. Specifically, Nolan is charged with orchestrating a false narrative about the death of a clochard, whom he portrayed as a dangerous criminal. This sensationalised reporting incited widespread fear among the community, leading residents to arm themselves and boosting the profits of a local arms manufacturer in which Nolan holds significant shares. The prosecution, led by Eleanor Miles, seeks to hold Nolan accountable for his actions. The play delves into themes of media ethics, the power of the press, and the moral complexities of individual actions within a community.
