A satire on current news and events. A group of young iconoclasts takes over for a half-hour of far-out satire.
Their targets are anything that needs to be deflated, poked at, pulled apart, or stripped of pretension.
The show is based on a current BBC program "That Was The Week That Was" (or TWTWTW") which has created quite a stir in England. Like "TWTWTW" 'WGOH" searches the current scene for its material.
The show is the product of the whimsically named South Sea Trading Company, which is composed of Clay Felker and Jean Vanden Heuvel, co-producers, Jonathan Miller director (Beyond The Fringe") and performers Peter Cook, ("Beyond The Fringe") John Bird, (The Establishment") Roger W. Bowen and MacIntyre Dixon, (Second City"), and Pat McCormick, (comedy writer and actor. The group is hopeful that a series will develop from Tonight's program.
An experimental special program that takes an audacious comic-satirical look at the news and current happenings.
