Emma Thompson flexes her comic muscles in this spiky office comedy about the world of late-night TV, written by and co-starring Mindy Kaling '01.

Emma Thompson plays veteran talk-show host Katherine Newbury: brittle, British and operating on out-of-touch autopilot. Mindy Kaling '01 is Molly Patel, a forced-diversity hire to Katherine's all-male writing crew who tries to save her boss and the failing show. 

Focusing on the ever-changing media landscape and the adapt-or-die mentality that comes with it, Late Night has more on its mind than your average comedy. In between jokes, it also shines a light on age and obsolescence, the dumbing down of the culture, the boys' club of comedy writing and the perils of social media. The result is a lively and entertaining workplace satire with its finger on the pulse of today's entertainment industry.

This event is free and unticketed.
