Gossip is the first in this Canadian playwright’s comic film noir trilogy The Power Plays, and with it we are introduced to Tyrone Power, a hard-boiled journalist who finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation. Though Power resists the trivialization of his political journalism, he agrees to investigate society matron Bitch Nelson’s death. Through multiple twists and hidden identities, Power solves the case, but not his chronic disillusionment with the world.
