The play was panned by SF Chronicle theater critic Lilly Janiak who said the play fares better as a “lecture”. WorkWeek then looks at the San Francisco Chronicle meeting on February 28, 2019 where the Chronicle editor Audrey Cooper says that the paper and reporters are under severe pressure not to cover the corruption and cover-up at highly contaminated Hunters Point and Treasure Island.
