One simple act unleashes a torrent of scandal in the political drama Confederates.

This ripped-from-the-headlines exploration of today's modern media from Suzanne Bradbeer was a big hit at the 2015 New Works Festival, and is a fresh, fascinating look at the fifth estate and the world it relentlessly pursues for ratings.
